im joking

their great mate, really getting good at this!

I tend to find, the better you make the pics, the more model like they look. Not computer model, but model railway. dunno why, and its a good thing i reckon.

very nice

Where have I seen this before, Anton

What route is that BTW - I don't seem to recognise it.

You know what, Im not 100% sure on the route, but at a guess Id say it was Mideast becuase of the track texture. But then again I could be wrong.

Lol, I think it looks ok but not as good as the original Arriva TPE livery.

Hi,

This is just a temporary design until they repaint them. They are the old TP stock but with that temporary First sticker on.
