47/8 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi all, happy new year, I have a lima 47 and it's livery puzzles me, it's 47838 in intercity sallow. But the lower body stripe is mainline grey, is this right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plarailfan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm not familiar with this particular Lima release, but I found this pic, on Flickr, of the real thing https://www.flickr.com/photos/7541633@N08/6042522853/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the lower body stripe is mainline grey, is this right Not prototypically correct L205656-LN-01 was released in error and replaced very quickly by the correct version I managed to pick up a few of these, removed the numbers and logos, which was ideal for those painted into InterCity Mainline livery Ironically, Lima released that livery a few weeks later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only bought it cause I wanted a swallow 47, the mistake makes it looks like it's been weathered If you're thinking in terms of value, bodies for these (and the occasional complete loco) sell on eBay, but not for huge sums: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=lima+47838&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=3&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47/8 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I actually like the mistake, as I say it looks almost pre weathered so it saves me a bit of a job, who makes the best detailing kits for the lima 47? I want to build it as a stand alone diorama Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
