If BR had been able to purchase 071 locos we would have had the 071s in rail blue, large logo, wrap around yellow ends etc not to mention sectorisation liveries. Would be nice to see some photo shopped images of the above. Here you go https://www.flickr.com/photos/northernblue109/5602911737/ (not mine I hasten to add) Have a look through Northernblue109's Flickr stream, he has done hundreds of different liveries on trains, buses and trucks.
