Andreas68 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi, as it is not easy to get Green BR Maunsell coaches is there a way to renumber SR green ones to BR? Are there transfers available to do this? Maybe anybody did this before. Best wishes Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
10800 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi Andreas You could start with Modelmaster ref 4415 http://www.modelmasterdecals.com/BR194865_Coaching.php ; Fox http://www.fox-transfers.co.uk/products.cgi?categoryid=643&ordernumber=943872415301; or Roxey http://www.roxeymouldings.co.uk/product/503/4rdt11-br-southern-region-coach-transfers/ Don't forget to repaint the coaches first from olive green to BR green though! You may still find it easier to look for the BR versions on Ebay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen the SR models live and on the pictures the 30's pristine looks olive - yes. But the green SR's look the same like BR. Exampel R4339 with that colour i expected not to go for airbrush them. But as i write before - never seen the colour live... http://www.Hornby.com/shop/productimage/?ImageID=1470 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
10800 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Kein Problem, Andreas. Ah, now I understand - yes, as far as I know the late SR green and the BR green are rendered the same. In this photo the SR is on the left and the BR on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason is the availbilty of brake coaches, the SR's seem to be still available. Nice evening! Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also bought the Fox transfer set for BR(S) set numbers and these are much too big. I dont know whether either of these have been corrected. The Roxey Mouldings ones are between the two and are just right ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roxey Mouldings ones are between the two and are just right ! I always use individual Fox 9 inch numerals for SR set numbers - FRH4008/9 in 'straw'; an off-white that looks good in my opinion. They are also available in white or yellow. Glenn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
