RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2018 Only on condition that we all complain to Hornby that they haven't upgraded the awful bogies on the A28/30 auto trailer as well, Paul... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Melrose Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 And release the LMS bogies as spares so we can replace the skinny ones on Bachmann Porthole coaches and use them on kit-built coaches as well . . . Stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted November 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2018 How many would actually have received lining? They were turned out in unlined maroon from 1956 to 1959 and scrapping started in 1960. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were turned out in unlined maroon from 1956 to 1959 and scrapping started in 1960. There are plentiful pictures of them in the sixties most seem lined, not much to change the lining and stencilling they can even use the same LMS livery looks much the same to me.

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted December 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2018 I picked up some of these at a good price so was happy to practice. The maroon looks spot on for BR to me. You need to remove the LMS markings and the upper of the 2 thin lines above the windows. The remaining thin line is a bit too low for BR but life's too short..... The only difficulty was the LMS no-smoking transfers inside the windows which others discovered at the time could only be removed with an overnight soaking (or longer) in brake fluid. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul 27 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the pictures Metroland was considering doing the same which make did you use for the M numbers, has any one tried to replace the lining using transfers.

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted December 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2018 I think they were Modelmaster. Forgot to mention I sprayed the roof black as that seemed to be what the roof was always like in BR days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted December 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2018 I did something similar to this on years ago, with an Airfix Stanier corridor brake third, but I used PC (HMRS nowadays) transfers for the numbers and waist lining. The numbers were ok, but I can't honestly recommend the lining, which I found impossible to get straight and which lifted after a few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
