I don't think this livery has been done yet.
Will try and clear it with the creator if people want it uploaded.
Your opinion please???

Yeah, great win...especially after Saturday (ugh)
The Watford game was the first I've seen for a while...oh god!!!
Great goal by Dimi and Blake's free kick was superb.
Anyhow, here's another repaint.
You see a few of these through Burnley...still in this livery

yes it is a W&B 158 im suprised dales not got a shot of it yet since he'd once previously managed to get the pastie just as it was released from doncaster the unit in the newspaper livery is either 158841 or 842 i can remember too well.

158841 was the first in pasty express livery
158842 is in the western mail livery (not seen that yet)

158821/825/827 have also been pastified,

Grudz did a model of 158841 which is available from ukts still i think.

Anyone having a crack at one of the wessex alphaline units?

I was on one of the pasty express units the other week from Crewe to cardiff.

Was on Central today but didn't see the Western mail unit, I presume it was done to tie in with the relaunch of the paper.

I'm doing some fantasy skins now, then I will contact stephen and upload.

Might upload without the sound and cabview files, with instructions to copy files over from 158701.

It saves time dowloading and uploading

Copped an eye ball of the western mail unit on the manchester to penzance which is always booked as 2 class 158s mondays to saturdays.
This normally conveys one ex-works unit from doncaster after a release, although it has been know to be two un-refurbished ones still in regional railways - eww!

Doesnt look that bad apart from the goons painted on the inner end of the vehicles! (anyone whos seen it knows what i mean!)

seen plenty of metro 158's in burnley, very nice livery too

i heard somewhere that manchester road is being rebuitl. thank god, it's dangerous there at night with it's bus shelter, bushes and 2 streetlamps. not a very nice, safe place at all. the repaints are looking good mate, keep it up
