They're actually already in their initial livery! (OK, very slightly lighter in real life...)... Most never had any other livery, but maybe some 40% of them ended up brown after 1970, for their last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look alright without painting I suppose. indeed I was thinking was it going to be the lighter grey or the later brown livery. Probobly fair to say weathering can bring that light brown to that colour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probobly fair to say weathering can bring that light brown to that colour On a railway, much of what we call "weathering" was, in the past, brake dust from brake blocks. Hence the brownish colour of "weathered" rolling stock in photos. I have seen many a photo of a wagon which we would know to be grey, but with a brownish look at least to chassis and maybe ends; a note for the more artistic amongst us!

DoctorPan Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 They look great. Are they your own 3D print or is someone selling them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all are Provincial Wagons (“H” vans, timber GNR vans, cattle trucks & Bullied opens, plus 2 ex-GSWR guards vans). One JM Design CIE goods brake (another on the way). Several bought wooden opens (Hornby, Bachmann or whatever). One kit bashed van. 4 x KMCE old style vans (DSER origin) of 3 different types. (3 awaiting wheels). 2 x SSM whitemetal convertibles of MGWR origin & 1 x whitemetal GSWR open. Sorry, meant Stevie's Palvans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
