    Another great and unique video. I'll put my neck on the block and say the best HST livery still remains the GNER mallard livery. Theres been nothing quite the same before or after.

    My first train set was back in 1993, and it was a HST 125 Swift livery train set.
    I may lean towards steam because of watching all the connecting rods moving around. But, since the HST was my first train set, it has a special place in my mind, heart and model railway collecting history.

    I can remember asking and asking for a Hornby intercity HST set for xmas in 1989 when I was 4. My folks told me santa had forgot it then a little while later in the morning they took me into a different room in the house from my other presents and it was wizzing around in the dark and I can remember all you could see was the headlights on the train. It is one of my earliest memories.

    This underlines the problem. To look good you need both the power cars and carriages in the same livery. Local model shop has some nice Scotrail power cars but is it worth buying when no carriages around? You can't buy one without the availability of the other.
