If it's pictures of the real thing you are after, you may wish to post this in the traction & rolling stock section.

Don't want to make duplicate posts
The first request is for photos, details will then follow of a model in N gauge

Are you sure they ran in IC livery? I think (not 100% sure) they went straight into ScotRail livery on conversion.

Yes they were all originally in INTERCITY swallow livery, you can tell by the interiors!
They were converted at the same time as the RFO, also INTERCITY swallow livery

Just before their introduction on sleeper services, converted from Mark 2F FO in 1987, 6700 was on static display in Platform 2 at Glasgow Central
On privitisation with ScotRail they were reclassified from RLO to RLB

ScotRail did away with the Mark 2 SO coaches and Mark 1 BG, replacing those with BUO and those went straight into service in ScotRail livery

Here is one photo, but it's not clear enough for modelling purposes, the RLO is directly behind the loco :
