    Just a thread for idle daydreaming and flights of fancy....

    1. Perhaps Mk IVs hauled by a 001 Metrovick, or double headed by a pair of baby GMs, all in toothpaste livery.
    2. ICRs in green flying snail livery, or in supertrain or toothpaste livery.
    3. 27/8200s converted to hauled, and pulled by a Metrovick, or double headed with a pair of 121s, all in black n tan supertrain livery. I'd imagine the cabs converted to toilets.
    4. Cement bogies with a 201 II in black n tan w. white band livery.

    You refer to a toothpaste livery. This is a nickname for the network southeast livery in 1980s and 90s. I assume you mean one of the black and tan liveries.

    Nope, he means the horrific livery applied by CIE/IR in the 1980s which destroyed the appearance of Mk.II's in particular, not to mention the locos. It was one of the principal reasons that I gave up photographing trains.
