Class 321 - bratchells models

[rhysnationalexpress]

Hi modellers I’m starting up the thread of a class 321 / 4 car in first Great eastern livery... yes the really awkward one ... ignore previous thread from 2011 (wow )

 

these train still run on the line Between Southend Victoria and Liverpool Street and have done for donkeys years ... 

 

I now have a Freinds set also 

so I will be doing two sets 

 

first great eastern livery will be the new desired livery 

 

here’s some pictures of what I’ll be doing

The paint of choice..

Following on.... and a massive ask 

 

I’m going to need some  water Slide transfers for both sets ,bratchells will only send them to me if I buy another 321/4 set (crazy I know ) 

 

I can provide more pictures / details and measurements if need be .... hoping the rm web community can help me out 

 

 

thank you

Finished article as expected......

A livery I’m looking forward to seeing, possibly one of my most favourite, but definitely one of the most awkward liveries to paint, half of me is debating whether to send it off and be finished properly

 The painful process of stripping these units has started

A nice project to be going on with.

just an idea, but you could try contacting Adam at Electra Railway Graphics and see if he will do some vinyl overlays for your 321. He did some South West Trains class 455/9 ones for me, and while they are not perfect, they saved me a lot of work on the livery elements and markings. He gave me two options: full side overlays (the one I chose) or smaller livery elements to be applied separately.
