Colour scheme ideas?

[JITSU_UK!]

I printed this one out recently and added a Battery powered chassis. I'm now stuck for a colour scheme. I think it looks quite nice in Black but looking for inspiration..any ideas?

Critters tend to go well in yellow - given the window blinds it looks suitably American.

Either of the Santa Fe-ish liveries would go well.

Yes, yellow critters. Lifted this i age of one built for 7.25" gauge. Looks cute. Max

I printed a few bodies so I can have a selection.

Here's the finished items. They just need some numbers and a little weathering and they will be good to go. I went for good old matt Black and CAT yellow was mentioned so I gave that a go too.
