Funny, I don't see them in my Marketplace at all.
Bear in mind there is a free BR Blue reskin (though not Blue/Grey) on the DP Simulation site

BR Blue/grey
It seems when looking for marketplace things on the Steam store you need to search for Dovetail and click the one that just says Dovetail Games - Publisher

They look good, however the plain blue ones wouldn't have had black cab window surrounds.
Some of the Laira sets did towards the end of Heritage DMU usage in the late 80's to early 90's so the Blue/Grey is more accurate, but even they generally didn't have them.

Strange how they can do a model like this and let it down with the detail.
Paint Job wrong (Black Window Surround)
Double Arrows too big
Guards Door & handle wrong

Don't worry, somebody is bound to revise the textures---not so sure about fitting a new door and handle though.

Have you advised DTG of the faults? They can't fix what they don't know about.

Who doesn't advise them? We all grumble now and again about this to DTG but little notice is taken or it takes months to materialise.

Have a look at the Class 117 DMU
When the Class 117 was released in Blue the same comments were made about the size of the Double Arrows - included comments to DTG.
Also, generally speaking, they don't fix what they do know about. The buffers at Glasgow Central on WCML come to mind.

Are there repaints like this on DPsimulation or on here? There's an NSE 365 but I'd rather download it from free here.

Would the blue and blue-grey ones have had the high intensity headlight?
If not, it could be a case of double standards being applied---the free reskin may have *right* windows, but may be flawed by having the *wrong* lighting so which one would be the 'wrongest'?

What exactly is wrong with said buffers? They look all right to me.
