One common suggestion is for an HST in Great Western livery. Here's one in Chocolate and Cream, assuming the 125s fit into the GWR's "railcar" concept. (I'm not the first to do Chocolate and Cream on an HST, but I thought I'd have a go anyway.)

From Bob Hedges at 2006-06-15 21:43:29 : O.S.Nock, once described a set of GWR coaches at Kingsbridge, Devon, as blending into the countryside in perfect harmony. Well, what you have depicted in both your adaptations is precisely that although, perhaps as I remember the chocolate being a little darker, and the lining gold and black.
I could go on but, that would be the ramblings of a senior citizen remembering a time, never to be repeated.

From Mr d at 2006-11-09 21:10:14 : If only our managers could see this and have the sense to follow your example
From The GWR at 2007-10-29 20:12:59 : Not sure about the white roof though.
