This livery formed the basis of the Scottish services’ colours after the merger.
A postcard labelled North British Railway shows a red pennant with a black thistle on a white, black-edged ogival shield. A red pennant with a thistle on a white shield is also documented as the original flag of the London & North Eastern Railway’s Scottish Services.
