Thank you for your replies RE the headcodes. Now sorted, luckily had some spare headcodes from a Heljan 33. Baffles me to why it came with reds at both ends and no spares to change them with (ie make them yourself) as it cannot be run in it's provided form without looking completely wrong. Even whites at either end would be better as at least the leading end would be correct and the trailing end hidden by rolling stock. As for the livery, think the dark grey is correct but the yellow is very different to my Lima example. Photos below

Received my Gatwick Express one from Olivias this week. They modified the chip so lights operate correctly and cab lights can be turned on and off. Seems a very good model with one exception. The blinds at each end are double REDS. So, when the directional lights are on, you are leading with the high intensity headlight and the red blinds, which is just wrong. Is anyone else's fitted as such? I'm not been able to test on DCC yet, only DC, as my controller has decided to pack up! Don't know if it will operate differently on DCC, but I can't see how it would.
