MRDBLUE17 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi Charlie, Why not great attention to detail as usual. These 142’s are going to cost me lol. I want a blue and orange one to run as a pair as I remember being on those out of Barrow and wondering where a proper 31 and coaches had gone! The Brown and cream skipper was an awful livery but again having travelled on a very packed one from Lancaster i want to add one to further the variety of the period. Thanks Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 For me, I think the Orange livery is probably the worst livery a 142 ever carried. The shade used is awful. Others in the running are Arriva trains northern and First North Western Blue star.*Cue livery froth fest* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

66738 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Noticed this morning that 142019 (DMSL) now has a 4"x 4" patch of original Chocolate on show where a sign has sat for many years, (checked many photos and it's always been there since it's first repaint) and they have just painted around it. Located in the middle of Local door control flap and Bowden cable flap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

66738 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Is the brown different from the GMPTE Brown ?Maybe a little darker than GMPTE brown. It's hard to tell. I'd have a peek in the door control panels of 001-007 009-014 as I definitely know the 144's have remnants of red/cream in them, but think these were redesigned on the 142 when the 4 leaf doors were repaced with the two leaf of today. Don't think they had the bottom air release/Bowden cable panel when 4 leaf, and that's where the brown would be on the GMPTE. Surpised I found some original outer skin steel on 019, as they have had a lot replaced over their lives, most recently at Holbeck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised why they would use a different brown, GMPTE was a local authority livery (used on buses also), Skipper livery was an invention unique to these units, I don’t see why they would use a different shade, it’s not a livery used elsewhere on the network, money being tight and all.
