RMweb Premium richierich Posted October 24, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 24, 2021 Original Metrotrain livery much preferred. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I will stand in front of the tide on this one and prefer the top. Mainly as this fits more with stock available and the livery lasted into privatisation. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonC Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Bottom one for me please. Can I just clarify, would the model have the original bus seats interior or the later interior that you've already produced? I'd prefer the original bus interior and the model to be right even if that means having to wait for it being tooled up 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly as this fits more with stock available and the livery lasted into privatisation. I’m a bit confused by ‘fits more with stock available’?! The original livery was first delivered in 1986 and seems to have lasted through to the mid 1990s, so from predominantly blue/grey livery and then through most of the sectorisation era and the liveries that produced. The revised example seems to have first appeared around 1994 and lasted until early 2000s, although there are several different versions of logos applied during that time - Regional Railways in white on red, in red on white and after privatisation possibly none at all and then there was the change to the style overhead warning stickers and the change from white to black destination blinds as well - so each version could have quite a narrow period of accuracy compared to the original was pretty standard and constant across its entire life.

OliversTrains Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Can a 144 three car unit 144018 be done in Northern Rail midnight blue and a two car unit 144009 Great Midland Trains blue livery, maybe a re-run of previous liveries 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realtrack don’t offer a RTR 3 car version sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 When you see the Class 142 come out, you will know we will be working on the 143 !!

Whish I was a train spotter back then. Wakefield Kirkgate is a common station for me to be seen at. Sadly now only sprinters and civitys.

Warm in winter with drivers and second mans heaters and good all round vision (compared to 142’s). I’d have driven them until the end of my days. An absolutely superb unit. And I’m by no means the only driver to feel this way. 001 (well half of it) lives on to become an important tool of Platform 1, to assist people with a variety of issues. It would have been nice for the first of the class to still be a runner on a preserved line, but there are enough examples saved for us to ride on. It’s new purpose is much better than the alternative. Being recycled into fizzy drink cans. 66738 The 144s and 142s were the backbone of the Penistone line. I personally living next to the Penistone line can say its not the same seeing a 150 or 158 and occasional 155 rumple down the line compared to a pacer.

dean20304 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I’m hoping at some point the Valley Lines 143s will be making an appearance, would be a perfect addition to my “Rhymney Valley” fleet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
