The Graham Farish 150, like its bigger brother, is a cracking model of a common unit. When it was released, a lot of comment was made about the purple engine, accurate for Porterbrook owned units I believe. However, the ones in use round here tend to have noticably bright yellow engines, and it's amazing what a transformation a lick of yellow paint and some black dry brushing makes to the overall look of the model. Additionally, the seats were painted blue, which adds a bit more interior relief.

I'm not sure how this unit will end up, quite possibly in FGW local lines livery if I can get the lettering transfers drawn up. Spraying the blue to purple fade is easy enough, as I've done it on HST power cars before, it just needs a steady hand...
