    I am looking forward to seeing what you get up to with them.

    Very smart! Where did you get the paint from? I just copied the 20 🤣

    You can pop in to the factory and give us some updates on the other froth 🤣

    The orange is easy. Loadhaul/Strathclyde PTE orange.

    Don’t give them ideas… us resprayers have to have some fun 🤣

    I knew you were going to spoil my fun 🤣🤣🤣

    I was at the Crewe works open day in 84, as an 8 year old!

    I’d also originally suspected this but this picture disproves that theory. I’ll shut up now 🤣

    I know I’m being a door bore but I don’t think it got them repainted, given it was released into traffic in grey in May 1984 and in Intercity by February 1985. It was a very short lived experimental livery indeed.

    As long as you - and your Dad - are happy that’s all that matters at the end of the day. Having repainted several models into this scheme in the past I’m in no doubt that the doors were the same colour as the bodysides, and I’ve yet to see a picture that changes that view, including the ones you’ve shown above, which in my view show the doors the same as the bodysides. There’s countless others on Flickr which show no difference whatsoever. in nice light you can even see the blue already coming through too 😃

    I think all that those photos do is confirm they’re not black… window surrounds yes, doors no. Second from top pic especially it is clear that the doors are the same as the body. The other thing to remember that it only wore the livery for a year or less so the only repainting that was done was into IC as per 87012.

    Seemed to lose them in 87 ish then?
  14. cairnsroadworks
    Interesting! What year is that then Andi? 1986 - I see now. I only started looking from 88 onwards!
  15. cairnsroadworks
    A search of Flickr reveals no images of it with an aerial until it’s Dutch years!

    The issue is that they’ll release a new version on a diesel/electric and charge over £200 for it and people still buy them. Once that stops in might change but it won’t stop because of the personality traits of the must have everything collecting modeller.

    There were issues with the width of the stripes on that one. I had a shocker of one where the red stripe was narrower than the white one 🤣
  18. cairnsroadworks
    Very tasty!
  19. cairnsroadworks
    Looking good. What base model was it? 006?
  20. cairnsroadworks
    Snap - your orange looks lighter than mine, could be the daylight!
  21. cairnsroadworks
    Interesting stuff. Hard to tell from pics of the model re the doors as on some they don’t look black 🤣
  22. cairnsroadworks
    Thanks for the reply. Shame. The window surrounds should be black, the doors should be the same as the rest of the body. Never mind. Love the layout, keep the pics coming.
  23. cairnsroadworks
    The pair looks great. Now the million dollar question - does 87006 have black doors in model form?!
  24. cairnsroadworks
    The model has all the TDM clobber on the front anyways. But looking at that Instagram link I shared the model does have numbers. Just the mystery of the black door(s) on 87006 to solve!
  25. cairnsroadworks
    https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDpm0mIM-h/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= in any case the numbers appear to be present.
