  1. Snap - your orange looks lighter than mine, could be the daylight!
  2. Interesting stuff. Hard to tell from pics of the model re the doors as on some they don’t look black 🤣
  3. 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.
  4. The pair looks great. Now the million dollar question - does 87006 have black doors in model form?!
  5. 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!
  6. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDpm0mIM-h/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= in any case the numbers appear to be present.
  7. Oooh nice. Perfect level of weathering too I’d say.
  8. My thoughts too… if the Hornby shade matches the paint of course 🫣
  9. The sides were Exec Dark Grey not black? Can’t find any evidence of the black doors alas.
  10. That’s another good tip. Thanks to you both.
  11. This looks great. I hate fitting them though, never get a clean finish, there’s always a fingerprint somewhere 🤣
  12. Hope they’re sorting the stripes on 417 and the shade of grey on 401, and the printing around the raised decals too 😃
  13. Apart from 37043 but I take your point. Enjoyed your review, and interesting that the noses fit from older ones. One of the things I like about the new model is the finer detail on the noses. The windscreens are still the biggest improvement and a huge one at that.
  14. I usually go with railfreight grey for the roof wells but then cover them in muck anyways as they never seemed to be clean.
  15. Yeah I think you’re right. I’ve got with rail grey for the lower band, and what became RFD international grey for the upper body and bog standard orange for the orange. Same approach coming for 90136 which is next up after sleeper 90021.
  16. Thank you 😊 I didn’t touch the chains as I didn’t need to remove them on this one. I’ve not looked at speaker modifications for these yet.
  17. Nice. I don’t think either did. 401 did I think.
  18. Yes. That is all. I’m sure we’ll get there, I haven’t pestered for a while to be fair.
  19. We are in negotiations and have been for a while 😃
