Popular Post Lord of Narnia Posted February 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2020 I’ve just been sent the first samples of 1967/72 tube stock which will soon be available from Radley Models. They’ve come out really well and the flush glazing seems to fit nicely. I will assemble and paint the first cars over the next few weeks. I shall be making them up as 1972mk2 stock. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Will you use the all-over silver livery, or the later small red panel? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small red panel livery wasn't ever carried by these, that was used on the 1973 (Piccadilly Line) stock which whilst visually similar uses longer vehicles with bigger door standbacks for Airport luggage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 22, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2020 There were a couple of oddball liveries, a blue upper half white lower half version rings a bell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Narnia Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I will be painting mine in the refurbished livery. The 1972mk1 stock was subject to several livery trials including the blue doors livery, upper blue panel (a 1967 stock car also also received this in combination with an interior trial) and the red doors livery (which was chosen as the corporate livery). Several mk1 UNDM made spare by the conversion of some units to 1967 stock were also used as an experiment.

Christian Tyler Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 While this particular model is considerably better the the awful one made by Metro Models, nevertheless this latest model by Radley Models has one flaw; the roof sides where they meet the body-sides appears to over-hang, whereas on the actual 1967/72 Tube Stock trains their roof sides were flush with the body-sides. One will need to take a fine-grade flat diamond file to file the over-hangs to create roofs that are flush with the body-sides. Aside from this flaw this model is a very good likeness of the 1967/72 Tube Stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Narnia Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Is this where the vents above the window can be found. There is a slight overhang on the prototype but it appears to be exaggerated here. It can be filed without too many problems I would imagine. The vents themselves are not modelled so a strip of black lining should do the job here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 26, 2020 Did I imagine it or was someone proposing to do 1967/72 TS in N scale at some point, one of the 3D printers perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Narnia Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) I’ve just finished painting my Radley Models 1972mk1 stock. It came out pretty well. I just needed to fill in the calling on light from the supplied kit. Next is a 1972Mk2 refurbished version found on the Bakerloo.
