Guest 40-something Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi Looking at this ebay item, did any of the prototypes gain Blue livery? Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I may be wrong but I thought all of these twinsets were rebuilt as four/"quadart" sets by the early 1930s so my gut feeling says no. Some quadarts lasted until 1966 or thereabouts so again its theoretically possible they received blue but I'd get a more knowledgeable person than me to confirm whether they did or not, but again but guts say that this is a what if and last nights curry was a bit spicy.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted March 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi 40 Something and Boris The LNER articulated stock was never painted in blue. The twin arts had been withdrawn by the early 60s with the on-set of the DMUs. The quad arts on the GNR suburban services did last to 1966 in small numbers and remained in maroon. Some early GNR twins were rebuilt into quads but not LNER built coaches. Seems very odd to build a kit to a high standard and then paint it in a fictious livery. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/57779-fictitious-liveries-models-not-photoshopped/?p=1363507 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66C Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi Joe I hope you are managing to cope - John let us know of your problems. There is information about LNER suburban stock here: http://www.masterclass-models.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/lner_suburban_diagrams.pdf The example on Ebay is OO gauge and as such somewhat overpriced given the incorrect underframes.
