 Stock counting, three sets nearly completed  ....

 

 Just waiting on Transfers for the sprayed sets, does anyone on here know the best match for the roofs of the Hornby coaches?, There is so many greys  but I need to do another DBSO  and A buffet car to finish set off ...

 

 Would be greatly appreciated 

 

Rhys

In the real world, roofs were not always the same colour on stock depending on when it was last painted, washed, etc. However, I used 'roof dirt' for a lot of my resprays, can't remember if it was rail match or humbrol, and that was a nice generic dirty grey that matches most things quite well and there's no noticeable difference between my Hornby Anglia mk2s and the resprayed and vinyled mk3 buffet.

Approx 1 week after the last pics, 25.8.2011, the short-set was now 47802-82118-12120-11073-47810.

Didn't take many pics that day !

Cheers,

that last picture is of a mk3B, not a mk3A, the noticable difference being the HST style vents. this can be done with just a normal Hornby model, or you can do what im doing and swap them onto an oxford model to give a reasonable representation.

Another give away for a Mk3B is the small in built tail lights. Only Mk3Bs & Sleepers had these.

All looking very nice - you reacted to me comment on Squirrel rails thread and your name made we think I better check you out. 
 

Lots and lots of Anglia Railways, love it! Nice to see another Anglian modeller. I’m a bit more modern then you though!

Will be watching this thread with great interest and inspiration for when I backdate to the Anglia/One transition era.

that’s awesome. And thanks for the kind words!
 

 I do wish I modelled 2004-2007 though rather than more recent years. The One/Anglia transition era was very interesting and is my favourite ‘TOC era.’ The next layout will be more focused around this era but I’ll still keep my Abellio stuff.

You must have completely cornered the market on Anglia mk2s by now, can't be many more left out there ;) I might have missed it, but do you plan on doing some 8 window 2nd class resprays to make your rakes accurate? 

Hahaha Nearly ! , for sure Yh I have a few ideas lined up ,I’ve got some bits being sprayed as we speak .... 

 

I think. “ONE” railways dbso is also on the cards
