I have been informed the following ---

National Rail, in relation to the Aboriginal colours schemes, are
making a
cultural statement. By not adding an Aboriginal flag to the side of
the loco, and
only having an Australian one, they believe it will not be making a
political
statement.

That's what the painter told us anyway.

As for the colour schemes,

112 x Intermodal Colour Schemes
1 x Aboriginal Grey Colour Scheme
1 x Aboriginal Black Colour Scheme
3 x SteelLink Colour Schemes
3 x Trailerail Colour Schemes
2 x SeaTrain Colour Schemes

Provisionally approved,

2 x Olympic Colours Schemes, Details
unknown,
Colour unknown
these will be repainted from the
existing
Intermodal Fleet.

Under consideration,

1 x Customer Corporate Liveried loco,
details
unknown, schedule unknown, colour unknown.
This will be repainted from the
existing
Intermodal Fleet
