I have travelled on one of these before. Does anyone know if they are repainting all of the class 155's the west yorkshire passenger transport authority (metro) acquired in the 80's

Here's my progress of the Northern 155 so far, a long way to go through. I plan to redo the front textures, which is long overdue, and also improve the roof and undercarraige textures if I have time:

WOW! This looks great, just like the ones you see around west yorkshire, especially on the leeds - manchester caldervale line.

Knowing Northern they'll all end up in different liveries!

Work is now almost completem but the .eng files need to be sorted out, and the undercarraige textures need improved. I have already improved the front textures.
