How about... InterCity livery 201 hauling a DeDietrich set?

AI overcooked these a bit, but this is how I imagine CIE would have repainted steam locos if they had continued to use them into the 1960s

what the proposed Black and Tan Livery might have looked like 

Interesting! I think the black looks much better.

Yes, a reasonable conclusion! Had the 800s lived a FULL life, they’d probably have lasted to maybe 1985! Doubtless like that - but - “Supertrain”???

Should you be searching for inspiration, this is how you put orange and black on a steam loco…

Perhaps something a bit like the N&W J class?

Any other livery suggestions?

Tried to style a photo of a 201 using a DART template and this was the response (this was not intentional)

ICR in pre-1955 CIE lined dark green, with snails?

Was thinking just generally, but yes, that would be nice - or the carriage livery maybe better with the board pale green bands above and below the windows, on the same dark green background - that would actually look very well, I think!
