I do like your loco fleet, but the Bachmann MK2 in in Scotrail looks great, I am hoping Bachmann bring out some MK2s in Trans-Pennine livery , but it looks like I will be doing the same as you, and repainting a few.

 

Cheers Peter,

Thanks for the comment and I feel that Bachmann are really missing out on a market not having done some other liveries. I think the problem lies where they didn't sell as many blue and grey Mk2s (of any type) as they'd hoped so didn't continue with any other variations in livery. All a bit of a shame really.

Thanks for dropping by and the compliment. I was at Scotland for a week in 1985 being based in Glasgow but trying to get as many 27s on the Dundees as possible so it sounds like both your brother's and your layouts will bring back some fond memories.

Glenn and I were saying last week that a layout based on Haymarket station would have lots of interest but would also need a huge fiddle yard for all the stock that was needed.

Don't forget to keep an eye on the layout thread for more developments (more photos should be coming soon).
