In many ways for modelling that's the more critical comparison, as many of us will have both and want the stock to more or less match in their livery, it's one of the reasons I ditched my LSWR locos, the greens were different across each of them and it just jarred with me. Having said that I'm eyeing up the lined black NER Y7! Cheers, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetalkinlens Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I think there would be a good chance it will be the same sample. The North Eastern Railway Association and the Ken Hoole Study Centre are effectively one and the same as I understand it. If it's very similar to the Bachmann green, perhaps they also did their research. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
