RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2018 Afternoon, A friend who isnt very pc literate is building an Easibuild Inspection Saloon and wants to know which liveries these carried, his layout covers the 1994 to 2006 period. Regards Alan Hi Alan I saw the title of this thread and hoped I would be saved making an enquirery myself. I have started to make a 1/552 from left bits from Tri-ang cut and shuts I have recently been doing. My enquirery is about the early days of these three saloons. They are made before the days of Blue-grey livery so I wanted to know were they in maroon, if so did the lining go around the ends as preserved and did they carry yellow warning panels? Here is DB999506 in maroon with full yellow ends. Late liveries include BR maroon Regional Railways GWR Chocolate and Cream Inter City This colourful one EWS Number DB999508 has been modified and has been in Serco grey and red and Network yellow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Careful though as that's an LMS version. BR design ones had two end windows, the LMS design had three. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HullCityB17 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 You also missed the following liveries... Scotrail, Loadhaul and Mainline Aircraft Blue. I am not sure whether they were the LMS Design or BR Designs but Resaldar (Mike Cole) has build a few of these and he provide advice and extra info.

I contacted Mike a few days ago and he hasnt built one of these BR ones. Regards Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ressaldar Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Careful though as that's an LMS version. BR design ones had two end windows, the LMS design had three. Jason Hi Jason, That Inspection Saloon is from BR Diag 1/550, (numbered DB999501 - 5) which was based on the LMS Diag D2046. The main difference was that in the small saloon, the left hand side window and door configuration was altered from window/door/window to window/window/door, to be a mirror image of the right hand side. Another difference was that the centre window in the ends was retained but was a fixed light as opposed to the LMS drop light. Regards Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ressaldar Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I collected this example of a Diag 1/552 Inspection Saloon as running in the mid 1980s from Easybuild at Doncaster yesterday the transfers are by Precision Decals (John Peck) the only available means of propulsion at present, but Rule 1 applies until I can obtain a 47 or 31 in Blue! regards Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
