John Tomlinson Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Picking up on this thread I was interested to see the reference to the Derby excursion set in maroon. Anyone contemplating modelling this or the individual vehicles might be advised to practice their weathering skills as my own memory of this in the early 70's is that much of it was more pink than maroon. As we know any red is particularly prone to fading, and presumably these vehicles had seen their last coat of paint circa 1966 after which the blue was introduced. John.

When I last saw it, c1975, there was also lots of patch painting as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
