I've been away from the forums for a while due to slowly finding myself with less and less time. As such i may have missed some creations i was hoping for and a quick search of the file library hasn't produced, so could anyone point me in the direction of any threads about:

Class 67018 Keith Heller?
A First Hull Trains 180?
A Grand Central 180?
A Stobart Rail Class 92?
An East Coast HST?

Thanks for any answers

I am about half way through 92017 in Stobart livery. As for the East Coast HST, no one has done or started a freeware version that im aware of.

The rest of the items on the list im not sure about either. I think there have been some mentions, but otherwise nothing has been uploaded.

Thanks Anton, sounds like the 92 should be good.

Whilst i'd love to say i'll try and learn how to paint the others, time is against me so, i'll have to hold on, until i have some time, or someone else out there does one

Thanks

Just out of interest, are there any EC HST floating around in the old GNER livery but with East Coast branding? I know there were a few that went around with NXEC branding for a while, but not sure how far they got with the relivery process before they lost the franchise?

I saw one a while ago, but i think it was reliverd a few months ago, remember NXEC had to pay for all the rebranding, so i would have thought they would have done it as it would be an enomaly in the fleet. I also heard that the 225's are going into a relivery programme, but there was little detail, does anyboby know any more??

can't be too sure on this but as of 14th of this month i have counted at least 2 in GNER as for branding i can't tell you what was on them,as one was london bound through peterborugh on the through lines (on rear of train) which i just saw a glance of from the bus stop outside the station and the other was also heading south (at head of train) along with GNER livered coaches and a NXEC livered HST on the rear.

do believe i may of seen a set with EC branding on GNER livered stock back in march, however don't quote me on that

as for the 225, along with the HST fleet to my knowledge they are all to be painted in a basic silverish paint scheme with possibly different coloured doors or a stripe down the carriages, this is for the simple fact of it will be easier to rebrand when a company takes over.

hope this is of some help

I thought that this one was "Rapid" ? That is what my model version has anyway at least (OO Gauge by hornby), although that might be a little out of date since its in EWS and the real one is in DB Red!

It probably was, but since Mr Heller retired it was painted in Canadian Red and named in his honour, it rather publicaly failed on its first major run with the Management Train down the ECML, but now it as far as i'm aware it's now running much better.

Hope that shows the Change from EWS to DBS

It was. It entered storage after the postal trains went, and has only this year been repainted it into DB and renamed.
