0 hurricanemk1c Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Not perfect - different toilet configuration and seats are different, but not that much different. Bachmann are producing Mark 2F's which are identical (bodyshell wise) to the Gatwick stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder would there be enough demand for a retailer or Murphy Models to commission a batch repainted into NIR livery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 BosKonay Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I doubt it would 'fit' with MM to commission repaints. But certainly it's comething the model shops have done before (Class 150, Autoballasters, Dapol Coaches, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Liverbird81 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Well then I'm the amateur curious modeller I'm so sorry for my ignorance. But as this QT was not about the model shop I'm not continuing this conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as this QT was not about the model shop I'm not continuing this conversation You're more than welcome to ask questions and learn but I fail to see how BosKonay offended you. There was no need to get smart about it. I think you've received good advice on your query and it was you after all who brought up the Model Shop Belfast piece in the first place. We'll leave the thread there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BosKonay Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Sorry for any confusion. I was simply clarifying that the Modelshop Belfast are not closed down. Additionally the last respray venture was a joint effort between themodelshop.ie and Marks models iirc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
