rob D2 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) I certainly get the bit about asking Mr paint stained at Crewe, the bit I found surprising was Mr paint stained at Margate ( a distant relative )mixing the beige by eye like some crazy mixologist for inter city , still it seemed to work out fine .

This was my point. I think it's great idea getting the people who are involved in effectively setting the benchmark involved as I think that adds a fair bit of credibility to it when someone says this shade isn't right. It was just how on earth does the Hornby paint guru go about replicating it. I'd assume there is maybe some more science to it and it was dumbed down/shortened for TV. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment relating to this was more that they had a guy mixing it in Margate by skeg of the eye rather than getting your input on the comparison. 1 hour ago, E100 said: This was my point.

I may then part with the non powered NDM 49004 that results if there is anyone that wants a non powered one? Andi I've just taken delivery of a powered one that I was going to remove motor, if anyone wants a powered one I'll take up your offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanN91 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Join lines are unavoidable but I was thinking for a while now apologies if this has already been mentioned on here I haven't seen it if it has. Anyway about the join lines on the DTS' what if they had or they were personally applied the final InterCity APT-P logo with the APT in red with the red stripe perhaps that could make the join lines less noticeable.

Surely join lines are only unavoidable and need to be masked if the chassis is bowl shaped (cheaper and easier to engineer) if it is flat and the sides cover the “eye” line then the join line is underneath, staring at the track! I appreciate this prabably means a metal chassis so extra cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic but related to it. Just a little longer to wait for the BR Class 91s January 2022! I just hope the info on the back of the box packaging is updated to mention the MRK 4 coaches and MK4 DVTs for INTERCITY 225 trains. as the description is still from the 2020 information where it just mentions MK3 and MK2 coach rolling stock. I also wonder if we'll have the BR INTERCITY swallow logo on the top of the box like the BR Class 370 NDM has the InterCity APT logo instead of the ariel rooftop image of it but either was both designs are good whichever eventually appears on the final product.

RyanN91 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I'd take it all releases dates with a small drop of 1984 British Rail coffee! The releases dates are all over the place at the moment the Summer 2022 section has some products in the banners as Winter 2021/2022. And some aren't even in the coming soon sections but when I typed in the Rocket Royal Mail train pack (which isn't listed in any of the sections it's banner says Winter 2021/2022 so it's anybodies guess? Hopefully they'll arrive before Christmas 2021. But we'll just have to wait with bated breath. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of other stuff to do before it does but I have tangible proof it is coming as I have the intermediate cars so it’s definitely not vapourware.

EdChap Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 For those people still running the original APT model, I was somewhat surprised to see it feature in a clip I was sent from Top of The Pops!!! (Warning to any snowflakes, this was perfectly acceptable then) Now, what TV programmes do you think the new model could appear in? 1 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
