You see that was my first thought and it would suit well with the two pullmans at cockcrow but then i think its slighly to modern for cockcrow thats why i then thought aobut BR blue!

Merseyside yellow is prob also to modern by i like the livery and My girlfriend goes to uni in merseyside so i think thats a couple of suitable arguements towards it!

Either Pullman or Large Logo Blue

Stephen you will have to bring it up to Kingsbury when you finish it

You arnt still thinking on naming it after her are you?

My class 73 in 5" gauge will be a couple of years unfortuatly for my tech A level project, which means i can learn from stephen's mistakes and sucesses (if any) and draft up dimensions from drawings. However one thing is decided for definate, Its BR green

I dunno it might be named after her, if GFRf can neame there locos after female office workers then tehres nothing stopping me!

Nah to modern for the folk down at Cockcrow it wouldnt suit at all as we have no 442s to recuse down there, im thinking about building a TC set once ive left school!

 

[73109]

Got to say Pullman livery would suit it

To hard to paint, and to modern for the people down the railway,

To hard to paint

I thought nothing was too hard to paint by your standards, you and your steady hand. How is that repaint going anyway?
