Bachmann Arriva 57 - coaches?

[truckman060473]

Ok, so I don't consider myself an expert in business but wouldn't some Arriva liveried coaches (as in the Cardiff - Holyhead service) be a good selling point to accompany this loco? Don't seem to be any that I've seen available.

The problem is that only Hornby have the moulds required to get even a passable model of it. I think it is possible to get transfers for the livery, but the buffet would not be entirely accurate.

Some can be found here, I have used some of their Caledonian Sleeper overlays and they are pretty good.

It is about time some Arriva Mk2s were made to be honest. I'm sick of seeing the Virgin ones!

You could always couple a Pendolino to the back of it (Saturdays only :P)
