I sent my 35024 off to TMC to be renumbered as Port Line with accompanying Golden Arrow headboards. Rather pleased with how its turned out!

Hello all, Im looking to renumber / repaint an old kit bash as Port Line in the early 50's as pictured on the Golden Arrow in experimental blue. Was the Golden Arrow headboard at this point blue and gold to match the experimental livery, or was this always green? Sadly colour photos I have found such as the below from SEMG / Roy Vandersteen collection, or elsewhere make it hard to differentiate. Many thanks.

Could anyone shed some light on the differences between the previously released BR Green "Restaurant Buffet Car" and the newly announced BR Green "Kitchen Car" in the 2021 range? To the untrained eye they both appear to be identical and diagram 24? Thanks

Would these coaches have ever run as a dining set of 3? eg Kitchen First, Dining Composite and Open Third? I have a few Open Thirds as loose stock, but dining combinations are a mystery to me.
