TGVs should be orange. Blah blah blah different liveries blah blah variety blah blah I don't care. TGVs should be orange.
And Moscow Metro's trains should be blue. But aren't.
>>2057678God, that first series TGV was so sexy. To me this will always be the only one.
>>2057678Corail coaches should be orange too
>>2057678>>2057688And while we're at it, Turbotrains should be, and they should be orange
>>2057678>>2057688>>2057689And while we're on that topic, what better color for your mainline universal locomotives than ORANGE?
>>2057678>>2057688>>2057689>>2057690Yard engines? You guessed it, best when O R A N G E
>>2057678>>2057688>>2057689>>2057690>>2057691Didi you know that Jacques Cooper, father of the iconic original pointy and ORANGE TGV had sketches for a twindeck TGV back in 1976 long before TGV Duplex was a thing?Did you know it was pointy and >ORANGE>R>A>N>G>EWhat could have been.
Shinkansen should be white with a blue stripe and only the 0 series counts
>>2057689Best we can do in the States is bright yellow, sorry
>>2057701best we can do in *North America*, I mean
>>2057701>the lightning cameltoe
>>2057701For me its the Black-white-red CN livery
>>2057745Fuck forgot the pic
S-Bahn trains should be orange as well
>>2057690That's where you lose me because the green SNCF freight livery is kino
>>2057821>Paint the locomotive green, Jacques?>No, Remy, just the ends. Paint the rest gray
>>2057822>putain Jean-Pierre>you forgot the other paint bucket and now only the ends are green>just like before when only the top and front were orange>this is all your fault Jean-Pierre>merde>that's it we're going on strike until management sends us another paint bucket
>>2057824I chuckled
>>2057692The commercial orange ones are iconic but i really like the smoothness of the TGV 001 which was the proto for the original project powered by an helo turboshaft.
>>2057821I'd argue that's the least bad paintjob the Sybic ever got, still looks like shit but nothing looks good on a Sybic.I like Fret on Nez-cassés, works well with their shape, but find it meh on most other locomotives.Best SNCF paintjob is anything (but béton) Arzens designed anyway.>>2057822>>2057824wdym paint the train?
>>2057701what am I looking at? Dutch railways running their koploopers in Canada?
>>2057853I love how much of a big dumb brick it is and the fact that its liveries are mostly just grey is perfect. It really IS just a big slab on wheel. It's so dumb, I love it.Helps that I used to ride it a ton on the TER network ten or so years back. When one of these showed up pulling a wagon with closed compartments in the evening, you knew you were about to have a cozy ride.
>>2057854The UAC (Pratt & Whitney jet engines) Turbotrain, used by CN, VIA rail, and Amtrak in the 1960s and 1970s. The original design was by Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. Loud, inefficient, and broke down a lot, but it was faster than normal trains. It could tilt around corners.
>>2057853Nez Cassé is so classy, it really lends itself to many good paint schemes
