Still think its the wrong way - it should slant from left to right - if you look at this picture you'll see what I mean

Take nothing away from Carl's work - still looks fantastic and looking forward to giving it and the GC set a run out on ECE :D

i cant change it though. because the rear power car is just a reversed shape of the front one so reverses the textures

Why not make a separate powercar for the back?

Im not so sure you need to - Ive just looked at the textures and I think youll only need one - I think as long as the diagonal always runs from left to right - whichever way the power cars and coaches are facing - it will work :)

Sorry for being a pain Carl :wink:

Just as a slight update, The National Express East Coast HST, Grand Central HST and FGW (refurbished) HST are now completed.
I aim to finish off the Cotswold Rail Power Cars this evening when i return from work

And only then, i will start on my last 2 parts to this project, which should complete mainline Liveries on the East Coast Mainline to date.

I'll get there eventually..... :) :lol:

Nice work Carl! I saw the new NX colours on a HST at Dunblane a couple of weeks ago, hated the livery at first, but its growing on me, will you be doing a Class 90 & LH Mk3s too? I cant see the livery looking right on the older 315/317/321s tbh, but well soon see!

Just had a quick go with the FGW HST and I must say its amazing, you've done a really hard livery really well. It plugs a gap in my train database and now I can ake real up to date activities- many thanks.
