73129 in NSE livery, running without City of Westminster Nameplates.

Picture Removed


I'm not sure about the colour, it was taken from a photograph, and I think the coaches are almost a bit too 'electric blue'.

Looks very nice indeed. :D Not sure about the shade of blue though, try a notch lighter?

Is there anyway you could include the BR Blue livery? It's basic, but including that would be good for act writers as it wore that livery for so long.

Here here to that last request!! Either a blue one or a selection of blue ones in varying degrees of weathering and grime would be most welcome indeed!!!

Many thanks

That's the large logo livery, and very nice too.

I was referring to this one.

I thought there was "something not right" but couldn't put a finger on it.

THanks to Niall's photos I notice the cab front bottom is higher than the sides.
Seems the buffers are too low.
Standard buffer hight is 3ft 5 1/2in.

Worth checking on an otherwise good model.

If it's got buffers it's Chain.

Something was bugging me too, so thanks for spotting it.

Hopefully it can be sorted as it's a very good model.
