GW150 exhibition train

[Hilux5972]

Hi all

 

I’ve done a quick search on here but haven’t come up with anything. Does anyone have any details about the types of vehicles used in the 1985 GW150 exhibition train? Or were the windows all plated over like the few vehicles I’ve seen in images online. Would be great to run this with the new Kernow 50007 ltd Ed.

 

Cheers in advance

Here is one coach that was repainted for GWR 150

 

 

when it was based at Newport, BR Diag 1/552 Inspection Saloon DB999509 from an O Gauge Easybuild kit. I'm tempted to get the forthcoming Dapol 121 in the same livery to run as a '150 Special'!

 

regards

Thanks for that list Simon. Looks like most of them were just played over anyway so could in theory be anything. Now to see if I can find some transfers. Cheers
