The repainting was not too hard as the bodyshell detaches and the glazing pops out without too much effort (wouldn't like to do the same job on the Farish suburbans).
The only tricky part was renumbering for which I used a set of Modelmaster transfers. B-set coaches usually ran in pairs and the majority of pairs were "married for life". This being the case, it is pretty aggravating that the MM transfer sheet includes some B-set numbers but not for matching pairs. After an aggravating hour with a magnifying glass I eventauuly settled for cutting up numbers to get a set that was allocated to the Bristol sub-division. This aside I am really pleased with how well they turned out and you can see the results here.
