Meh. Being serious is overrated. If it works, it works.

Works so far. You're an ideas man Red, what does my coaching stock need to break up all the plain colour? Bearing in mind my layout will be set in the early 60s...

Hmm. Maybe some white lining below and above the windows?

I’ve always liked the 14xx/48xx/58xx

 

The only one I have is the Hatton’s one though not Hornby

 

When I rescued my B set coaches from Ebay I used Halfrauds grey bumper spray paint for the roof (no primer required, one coat and not a bad finish)

Took me a while to hand paint the red around the windows though

 

I didn’t do the weathering though, I’m not brave enough to weather locos and rolling stock yet, I’m only just getting the hang of weathering buildings

Looks really good. I don't dare attempt to weather anything yet

It's been a bit quiet at Tovil Works this week while waiting for the new 14xx to arrive, though the first goods stock has arrived

A Dapol 12 ton van for less than the price of a pint. Its missing a couple of buffers so I need a replacement set. That Hornby 4 wheel coach seems to sit far too high compared to everything else for my liking

Aye, that's because the Hornby 4 wheel coach sits far too high compared to everything else!

 

I still organise half my modelling around those coaches though, because I like them!

Nellie also sits too high which would explain a lot!

 

I like them too otherwise I wouldn't have let mine survive an idea I had
