Thanks for the suggestions regarding numbering.

Could you graft the other '47' cab onto a brake coach for a DVT with a matching look

I am currently creating a short rake of Mk4 coaches in GWR livery and the idea is to have a single Class 43 power car +3 coaches plus a Driving Coach .

Is this the sort of views you are asking for ?

I have not installed the lights yet as I am still researching the most suitable method. The detailing is down to Railtec waterslide transfers.  

Thanks.  

It has been many years since I did any scale modelling. I am using "rattle cans" atm, as I don't have an airbrush, so my choice of colours is a bit limited. I take it you do. Whatever I decide on though, I will do a full rake in the same shade. I currently have some mk3 coaches soaking in IPA to remove the paint.  As it will be a stand alone set - so as long as it all matches and looks close enough, that will be fine for me. However, once I have finished this project, I will probably invest in one.

RAL 6005 - Moss Green, Acrylic, Gloss 90% With a satin varnish top coat as I find the gloss finish looks to "Toy like" for me.

Ok Thanks

I have just returned to rail modelling after a long absence and saw this thread from a few years ago. I can't afford (or understand) all this DCC stuff so I am using old second hand DC models to develop my skills again.

I love the new GWR livery but I am not sure how dark the green should be.   Pictures are difficult to interpret as the colour seems to vary depending on the light    That said,  I think my first effort is a bit too light.
