are you sure about the roof? because i get a distinct feeling the old Intercity Executive livery 47s (and scotrail ones) on this site have yellow roofs (although not entirely)

Done a few updates this morning.
You can have the roof the right colour, but im having trouble locating certain parts of it on the .ace's (see bottom left inset of pic below.)

Latest WIP
