Looks like the old orange Main line Passenger coaches that they brought out for a while. Certainly better than the yellow and gray caterpillar style.

For me I'm quite a fan of the yellow and grey. I think the livery featured is quite boring

Re: Metro 1990s colour scheme
I agree with Marc, when the grey and yellow is new, it looks very nice. Especially the blue or green mixed in with the 10M4 / 10M5.
Any chance to get a high resolution scan of these two pictures? Anybody have idea what the front of the MC looked like? Can I see stripes in the picture?

Craig, I posted these as Nathan sent them to me, so I don't have anything higher resolution. Nathan?
