My last delivery of 2020... brand spanking new

A little something for the depot ..

Another re spray walks through the door...

We have had some intruders over lockdown #DBSO gang

The painful process of stripping these units has started

A livery I’m looking forward to seeing, possibly one of my most favourite, but definitely one of the most awkward liveries to paint, half of me is debating whether to send it off and be finished properly

Finished article as expected......

Following on.... and a massive ask I’m going to need some water Slide transfers for both sets ,bratchells will only send them to me if I buy another 321/4 set (crazy I know ) I can provide more pictures / details and measurements if need be .... hoping the rm web community can help me out thank you

The paint of choice..

Hi modellers I’m starting up the thread of a class 321 / 4 car in first Great eastern livery... yes the really awkward one ... ignore previous thread from 2011 (wow ) these train still run on the line Between Southend Victoria and Liverpool Street and have done for donkeys years ... I now have a Freinds set also so I will be doing two sets first great eastern livery will be the new desired livery here’s some pictures of what I’ll be doing

Thanks mate .... it just bugs the life out of me with my Hornby set .... the DBSO Is significantly lighter on top then the rest that’s all

Stock counting, three sets nearly completed .... Just waiting on Transfers for the sprayed sets, does anyone on here know the best match for the roofs of the Hornby coaches?, There is so many greys but I need to do another DBSO and A buffet car to finish set off ... Would be greatly appreciated Rhys

The new buffet car awaits Transfers, I’ve put them both together as a colour comparison, the buffet car without transfers is the official Anglia railways turquoise livery, Phoenix Paints is the other provider

A little comparison for colour DBSO on the right from an older project that needs finishing off ,sprayed in Phoenix paints Anglia DBSO to the left is our latest model in official Anglia railways livery a little bit more TLC then we are ready for transfers thanks

Picked up my last coach to finish the Hornby set !

The postmen has been kind to me recently ..... BARAGAINS as well 2 more carriages added to the Hornby set ..... one more away from the full set!

Fiddly but fun!.... lots of progress with this dbso ..... more pictures to follow this week it come a long way !

Bit of an awkward one to get pictures of but all interiors are now finished off interiors painted passengers added no social distancing on these carriages !

BSO nearly ready for transfers A little bit of touching up and we are systems go

Thanks for this ,great detail on this coach and not a bad price Rhys

Yes Please phill very kind of you and thank you I’m trying aha Rhys

It’s going to be a mix really So far I have DBSO, standard mk2 , standard mk2 , standard mk2 , Mk3 buffet car , mk2 first class , mk2 first class , class 86 currently working on doubling that set above ... so I will have two sets And I’m also looking at completing the following which I’ll be chopped and changed .... Anglia BSO Anglia mk2 buffet then another 5-6 rolling stock which will run on special services .... we also have a ONE - ANGLIA MK3 set with class 90 and DVT in one colours and we are looking into finishing off a mk2 intercity set do you have a link for your layout? Rhys

Thank you Mr postmen!!! eager to get this buffet car up and running

A little comparison .... Original Hornby coach to the right.... pretty happy with the outcome to be honest more pictures to follow

A little bit of spraying today on the front of the DBSO followed up with a picture of two 57’s that I got this week I couldn’t resist one of my favourite liveries ,I’ve attached a picture of a 57 pulling some Mk2 Anglia rolling stock ... which will run very rarely on our layout, maybe as a “special “ one Heljan - weathered one Bachmann - brand new thanks for looking
