RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted October 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2012 Had a spare Parkside VEA van kit knocking about so, seeing as ODA wagons managed to survive just long enough to receive EWS livery, a what if for the VEA type now exists: 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hoovered Posted November 6, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2012 Here is my Fastline 50, I thought the class 56 looked good in this livery so I've done a 50 in it !!. I have numbered it , 50133 as I had these numbers made up and named it " SHANNON" , after my favourite warship. Also a rake of old Airfix Mk2 air-cons, 2 half brakes, 4 1st class into a standard class coach and 1 into a buffet coach. There is some video of it on youtube, look for DUGMER JUNCTION. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Triang Paul Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The double - cabbed 20 looks like the Vossloh G2000 noe common in the EU. Plenty of DB Hsts done but how about the DR red/cream ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Goodness James, two-tone does sit well on a HS4000, If only that had become standard.It was never going to happen - even the pre-production mock-up was blue, albeit with a yellow panel - see 6th picture down http://www.therailwaycentre.com/Recognition%20Pictures%20Loco/Artists_loco.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyboy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have been inspired by this topic of fictitious liveries on models, now I want to do a made up livery on one of my N gauge locomotives in "SH Rail" livery with a appropriate rake of coaching stock for my layout. But there's one problem with this, I've never put transfers or re-painted any of my stock before!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The only way to learn is to try it yourself. Start off with something that doesn't matter if you mess it up, like a body from the scrap box and progress from there when you feel you have gained sufficient skills to do it properly to your satisfaction. We all had to start somewhere and I'm positive that everyone on these forums will have their tales to tell of things that went wrong or simply didn't work out (I know I have!). I'm not trying to put you off but, rather, I'm trying to say 'Have a go' and don't panic if it doesn't go right first time. We get better as we go and learn from our mistakes. That is a part of the fun of our hobby. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Thumper Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm toying with the idea of doing a BR marroon with coach decal class 47.... However, depending on how adventurous I feel I might do an East Midlands Trains 47 or MML 47.... or something to that effect.... am also tempted to do an NCB class 47, on the principal that had they survived into privatisation of the railways, then they might have been likely to have their own mainline engines?

SRman Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 There was a Midland maroon 47 (Lima issued a model of this, I think) and very nice it looked too. The livery you are suggesting, Bruce, might partly resemble the application I did on my Hymek, earlier in this topic. When it is a fictional livery, there are so many possible variations on themes: should the cab window surrounds be a contrasting colour? Should there be a relief colour band or block? Should the roof be a different colour? ... and so on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 5, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 5, 2014 A nasty surprise has emerged from the depths, a repaint I did for no readily apparent reason very many years ago: What on earth was I thinking!?!

edward66 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Anybody remember an unfortunate exLMS Compound that was painted red and yellow for an Andy Capp advert after which it was ignominiously carted off for scrap? Might have been 41102 but my memory isn't what it was! Edward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londontram Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I've got a photo of it in a book some where I'll try and find it but yes it looked quite vulga Edit to add information Found it on Google Edited February 7, 2014 by Londontram 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edward66 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I will try to explain....... The topic was ficticious liveries LMS Compounds' livery was standard BR in the fifties, i.e. lined black. This one was painted red, yellow and black i.e. not a true livery, i.e. ficticious. OK, so this was a real locomotive, not a model, but I thought it was amusing and it is not off topic, which is about ficticious liveries. I am sure there are a lot of RM Web members who were not around when this event happened so I apologise if anyone is offended, not everyone appreciates all types of humour! I see it was 41101, not 41102, my memory wasn't so far out, thanks Londontram for finding the picture. Edward 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JDW Posted February 8, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2014 Interesting point, Edward, and I agree, I don't have a problem with something that offbeat cropping up here, though I would disagree on it being "fictitious", which to me implies it never really happened, and this did really happen, albeit not for long, and its rather garish, but hey, its only words, and its interesting, and livery-related, so what the heck?!

RMweb Premium JDW Posted February 9, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2014 I spotted this on eBay today too - a Regional Railways 47 - it actually looks quite good I think! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/lima-class-47-oo-gauge-loco-/171233528081?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item27de504911 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I think I remember seeing an A4 in Executive livery, looked rather smart to me.* A friend had an A4 in LMS Maroon - named 'Cuckoo'.

CKPR Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 What about liveries for the pre-group mergers that never happended, such as the MR/GSWR or the NER/GNR/GER, or the alternative versions of the 'big four' that were considered and rejected ?
