Hi Gary,
I think Stretch Lite already has everything needed to show a custom boot screen using Plymouth. What I'm not able to find is whats needed to create a custom Plymouth theme.

Available params
pi@rp5:~ $ plymouth-set-default-theme --help
Plymouth theme chooser
usage: plymouth-set-default-theme { --list | --reset | <theme-name> [ --rebuild-initrd ] | --help }
-h, --help Show this help message
-l, --list Show available themes
-r. --reset Reset to default theme
-R, --rebuild-initrd Rebuild initrd (necessary after changing theme)
<theme-name> Name of new theme to use (see --list for available themes)
Directory contents
pi@rp5:~ $ ls /usr/share/plymouth/themes/
details text tribar
List available themes
pi@rp5:~ $ plymouth-set-default-theme -l
details
text
tribar
Print the default splash screen
pi@rp5:~ $ plymouth-set-default-theme
text
The cmds below display the default 'text' splash screen on my Pi Touch. If I change the theme <sudo plymouth-set-default-theme tribar> then it displays the 'tribar' splash screen.
pi@rp5:~ $ sudo plymouthd
pi@rp5:~ $ sudo plymouth --show-splash
pi@rp5:~ $
pi@rp5:~ $ sudo plymouth quit
pi@rp5:~ $
