cctransuk Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I have purchased one of the above (by Bachmann) as a bargain from Kernow, and intend stripping it and repainting it in 1950s/early 60s condition. Can anyone point me towards photos of these particular vehicles during that period - I am hoping that one or more was painted in the crimson / cream (blood & custard) livery. Any information as to vehicle numbers / allocations during that period would also be welcome. Many thanks in anticipation, John Isherwood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) John, if you type "rmweb inspection saloon" into the Google search bar (RMweb search leaves a lot to be desired IMO) you will get quite a lot of hits for RMweb threads on the subject. I had one and modified it with Comet bogies in order to convert to EM. Mine was LMS though. John Edited June 21, 2020 by brossard 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saloon as been stripped; the body is in a poly bag with Mr. Muscle oven cleaner foam to strip the blue / grey paint; and the glazing strips have had the grey window frames overpainted cream. Tomorrow I will wash off the original paint from the body and, when dry, apply BR cream overall. After that, it will be mask and apply BR carmine; apply lining and lettering transfers; and reassemble. I also bought a bargain Bachmann BR non-corridor 2nd at the same time. That has had the LMR number removed, ready for renumbering as a WR example; and had the fixed tension-lock couplers replaced with NEM pockets. Regards, John Isherwood.

FoxUnpopuli Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 As the LMS one is now nigh-on impossible to get hold of (at what my wallet considers good value) I've been considering something similar. I'd be interested to see how you get on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
