Hi John,

Well for a start have a search say on your prefered search engine, i use Google or AVG, as there are plenty of old bus photos to be had around the UK and then check the Downloads as there is a good selection of buses to be had there,

Hope you find something close to the color your after,

Cheers,

Roger.

Hi John,

Well after looking for the color of those buses in the 50's, Blue and Yellow or Cream depending the photo, i would say that you will not find anything like the paint design anyware for RW3,

Have a look like i said in the Download Library for the buses there for RW's you may find something that you could use in your route,

Cheers,

Roger.

You will want East Yorkshire at least. Of course Hull Corporation too.
The Hull Corp scheme would be hard to do on the models I have used for repaints I think, but I havent tried yet. :wink:

I can vouch for Brian's skill with bus repaints (not that he needs any vouching for!).

The buses he did for the Leeds area which he donated to the Trans Pennine Route are great and the freeware packs contain a fair few of his rolling stock skins :D

If anyone can make a Hull Corporation skin Brian can :D

Actually, having downloaded Brian's excellent Sheffield reskins in eager anticipation of tinkering with the Woodhead route (not forgetting the fact that Kevin made these very useful and splendid models in the first place), I was actually wondering if Brian might be persuaded to provide a skin or two at the other end of the line? I have LOADS of reference pictures...

I did the first of my Manchester pack last night Paul, no need for Persuasion, the pleasure is all mine. I think I have to try and do a Hull Corporation Regent III as well now, after what Jim just posted :wink:
Everytime I upload new versions of these superb bus models I go back and thank Kevin for making them 8)
