I think we can reserve these kind of posts until after we know that a production model is wrong? It's an EP almost all EP samples have to have something wrong. After all that's why EPs are made.

I'm a railway engineer by trade, and if I'd produced something that wrong, even as an EP, I'd be disgusted with myself.

I'm no rivet counter, but how hard is it to get a basic, common livery colour right? It's not like Dapol haven't produced Dutch livery before!

It's a real shame, because otherwise it looks like an excellent model.

Superb work, I'm tempted to buy one or two!

Have you though about an earlier Speno Rail grinder as seen in this pic? http://www.philt.org.uk/keyword/taunton/1/1406453490_N3xbNjj#!i=1406453490&k=N3xbNjj

It looks easier to modelm, and ran around in the 1980s so I would definitely need one for my layout!! Interestingly enough, they were crewed by Italians, who lived and worked on the vehicle and where guided round the Network by a BR conductor!
