TomJ Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 After a failure of my 108 unit I am thinking of getting another one - perhaps running the old one as an unpowered dummy. The only ones still available seem to be in the all over rail blue. How late did this livery last on any units? I model the early to mid 80s.

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted April 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2014 Try searching for Mixed Livery DMUs, there's a thread on here with some examples, including a Flickr link to a blue/blue-grey parcels twin conversion in 1986.

'CHARD Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 All over blue was still extremely common in the early eighties. If you did want to rebody with Blue & Grey bodies, I have one of each body type as spares sat here, that I'd do a direct swap for plain blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJ Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks everybody. Id not found that thread despite a search! Chard - that's very kind. I'm just waiting to hear back from Bachmann as to whether it's fixable. If not I will buy a blue 108. If you're still up for swapping Ill be in touch. I think blue/grey would be more appropriate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
