Having completed a 4-car Hull Trains Class 222 in N Gauge, I thought that there might be some demand from the 4mm fraternity for a bigger version.

I purchased a rather shabby 3-car trainset example from eBay and set about the conversion. Essentially, it is almost identical to the N Gauge version - remove the roof air-con pods, repaint the roof and ends and stick on the sides.

The vinyls were totally re-drawn from the N Gauge versions, making use of the opportunity for extra detail that OO affords and, I think, the end result is pretty good, my ham-fisted attempts at repainting notwithstanding...

The Hull Trains livery is my overall favourite for this class

Bang up-to-date with East Midlands Trains. It's not too obvious from the picture but the leading passenger window is missing on the first class end. The fronts of both cars need another couple of coats of yellow and properly blending in with the vinyls.
