Next part of the project will be the MK3 FGW Green and Gold Seating Coach for the Night Riviera.

Hmm... Would that really be prototypical? I thought they didn't switch to Mk3 seating cars before after they changed to the current livery on the rolling stock, so that in the 'Fag pack' era it'd still have been aircon'd Mk2s as seating cars?

That's correct, there was a BSO TSO and RFB at the Penzance end of the train before the refurb

is what you need plus the DT mk2s.

Note the 57 won't be quite corrrect given the lights lack of ETH and other minor differences between the 57/0 and the 57/6 but would still make a nice night scenario if the lights were added to the 57.

There was a brief period (late 2006-2009 I think) when we had the mk3s off west coast and ran then in fag packet livery.

Lovely reskin btw.

Another point for the mk3s on the sleeper is one vehicle in each set is a mk3b BFO which were originally used to fit the long Pullman formations on the WCML into platforms without a mk1 BG. There were only 3, essentially a first class equivalent of an HST TGS.

I need to get out more
