Good evening -

I have a fleet of 14 Hornby HST power cars for Laira , and need a bit of variety in the fleet -

so to break things up a bit , I have already modelled a buffer fitted DVT conversion , and have a Mirrlees engined example on the work bench aswell.

To add to these two I'm modelling 43183, which, thanks to some help from you guys last year, I found out was one of the last Exectuve livery power cars , (on the western region anyway). The paintwing work is done - I've retained as much of the swallow livery as is useable, carefully sanding away the red stripe - The Intercity and swallow logos were removed with modelstrip. Ive had to respray the executive dark grey around the cabs to get red of the black triangles painted by the cabside windows.

once the transfers are on, itll need to be made tatty so that it looks right among the newer swallow livery power cars.
