No Decorum Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Good timing. This should go well with the Model Rail USA tank in LMR livery. Because both come from Bachmann, I'd expect a good colour match too. Edited January 8, 2016 by Mod4 Unnecessary full quote of OP removed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
locoholic Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Does anyone know of any photos of BR Mk1 suburbans on the Longmoor line, please? I can only recall seeing much older (ie. pre-grouping) coaches in the LMR blue livery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget Kernow's LMR J94 which has been color matched to the Bachmann loco's 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted January 15, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2016 I was going to say they were in the St Trinians Train Robbery but my memory is....my memory is.... my memory is........ Anyway I just checked and the 2 BR Mk1 Suburbans are in lined maroon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownsendHook Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I was going to say they were in the St Trinians Train Robbery but my memory is....my memory is.... my memory is........ Anyway I just checked and the 2 BR Mk1 Suburbans are in lined maroon. Although they do have the War Department numbers applied. I would surmise that this was before they were repainted blue.

Opelsi Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Really looking forward to this coach. I wonder if we might be lucky enough to get any other LMR coaches to match (livery), as l'd love to make a short train up. Expect if the initial coach sells well we could be lucky! Were there ever any LMR livered/lettered freight vehicles? If so these would be great also, even just a brake van and a couple of plank wagons.

Paul.Uni Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Just got a email telling me that they have arrived and to contact them to arrange payment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opelsi Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 My two arrived the other day. Very nice coaches indeed thank you Invicta / Kerry! Does anyone know please, of any appropriate transfer for renumbering one of them as I would like to change one of the pair to an alternative running number? I wonder if we might see Invicta doing a similar product utilising the Bachmann Birdcage at a later date. Other options for Invicta could be SDJR liveried Hornby Peckett (Yes PLEASE!) and blue liveried LMR brake van (I understand under consideration)!

lekkie lad Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 A colleague of mine (honest!!) has the Model Zone LMR 350hp shunter and the Invicta LMR coaches. The shades of blue differ quite significantly. Having had a look online for colour photos of LMR locos, the shade seems closer to GER dark blue. Certainly the only colour photo I found of a 350hp loco the blue was a lot darker than the MZ version. Can anyone advise what the correct shade of blue please? The Invicta coaches appear (from photos as I've not seen them in the flesh) to be closer to BR blue. Ian S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) I got my coach this week. Very impressed with A; the coach and B;The service. I wonder if someone could be persuaded to do a pair of LMR liveried Secr Birdcage brake ends?

Stormbringer Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The variation in Colour could be down to the period in which the vehicle was painted in LMR livery. The 2 Bachmann 2-8-0s are totally different but then afaik were never at Longmoor at the same time. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
