Your correct James it was originaly in BR colours until SPTE rolled out the orange colour scheme in 1982.
That said I think it should be retained in it's orange colour as it served most it's working life . Aye Alex give Big Aldo a shout as he used to drive it back in the day.

Would it be worth setting up an epetition and contacting the ET and Herald?

The orange looks nasty, i'd ditch it... not for dreary cream and carmine, but perhaps for something a bit more this century.
