Yellow panel on Tri-ang Hymek.

[trapoint]

I recently purchased a original Tri-ang Hornby R758 green Hymek of 1967 vintage from a toy fair boxed. Although it is in fair condition for its age something looked odd about it .  I thought they were all green but it turns out according to Pat Hammond in his book they did have a yellow panel which was stuck on the front with two white dots for lamps. They are absent on this loco . What can I do ? Are replacements available or will I have to pay somebody to paint it instead like the original.

Hi, google looks to have examples of your end result. You have probably 4 choices if it helps.

Find someone to the paint for you.

Do the above yourself.with either rail match, humbrol or precision paints.

Obtain some yellow adhesive backed paper and trim to share.

Fox do waterslide transfers which would require the same trimming as the above..

 

Also the triang collectors club might be able help via their website.
