MRC_Jacob Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 So here we see the FGW Fag Packet HST from 43300hst off Facebook. First impressions of the work done on these powercars is really good! The vast majority of the work done is to a high quality so I can't complain considering the price and the length of time it took to complete these. The two biggest points of concern for me were the inconsistent white around the front of the lights and then the transfers have been put over the top of the rails for the powercar door. The CrossCountry powercars were renumbered original releases done by myself. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackB95 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Those fag packet HSTs look absolutely fantastic. The lining looks like a nightmare - glad I'll never have to do them! Cantrails are my limit haha. Cracking stuff Jacob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
