Project High Speed Train

Post by carlwestwood »

After a few months on and off, ive finally got my rear into gear and finished a few things off that have been sat on my harddrive for a while now.

All of the below feature brand new textures which ive found floating about on my computer from the endless amounts of photos in my "pointless aim and shoot but might come in useful sometime or another" collection.

Enough of the waffle...

Grand Central 43067 and 43080
Image

First Great Western 43033 and 43165
Image

I do also aim to complete my Cotswold Rail Power cars, which do need to be updated with the newer textures that ive put on these.
And also, if i can find some photos for reference, im going to have a go at the new NXEC HST (which is where you help would be appreciated)

many thanks :)

Looks great, I don't suppose you be able to find time to do the AXC livery please? because I think it's more or less the same one that is carried on their voyagers.

:D

Carl - The coach roofs on the FGW stock should be the same colour as on the side and not black.

Which NXEC are you going for - the NXEC preferred colours or the white-stripes livery NXEC will temporarily adopt following it's takeover of GNER?
