Making BDSO carriages

[James]

Hi all,

 The aul grey matter has been ticking over the past few weeks with the difficulty preordering the MK2BDSO for the hunslets, and it got me thinking. How different is the Mk2b from the MK2c? If you apply the ‘looks close enough if you’re happy with it’ (I think that’s the 2 foot rule, I’m still learning phrases) would respraying a MK2c be ok to fit in with the Mk2b? I know it’s an expensive model to fettle with, but I think for some of us out there who were on sabbaticals when earlier models were release, it may be the only way to get as close to the models without fighting to the death on eBay auctions.

Thanks in advance!
