Agree
Yes indeed... more than that it's simple, neat and crisp enough to know whether it's Vaigai or Pallavan... no extra designs in those TBs and for those locomotives, strategic way to promote their products... I like those kind of designs (both for TBs and locos).... moreover, the ads they add on the coaches, those also look good...

But to be frankly speaking, I feel nothing can beat the original livery of the LHB coaches (Red for Rajdhani or normal type trains and light blue for Shatabdi and normal type trains) as they...
more...
have an aesthetic look to the passengers and those who do RFanning.... all the more, nothing can beat the ORIGINAL ICF coaches.... blue colours... those r next level....👍👍👍

A little out-of-context to ur reply, I really liked the TB design of the 12625/12626 Kerala Express (link shared for reference).... that's quite appealing I'd say... looks neat with those animated cities representing the source and destination of that train....👍👍

Yes true these simple and detailed TB's are always aesthetic to see and also depends on colors which are selected too. 😁

Yes, I agree with the liveries. Hope IR implements them too to distinguish.

Yes...

Kerala's TB is spectacular. I've captured the same at TPTY will post it soon.
