This is why I always say Noel's updates are so interesting and enjoyable, because it's an actual Railway man doing the modelling.

David Holman Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Evocative scenes - actually looks like it is raining. Presume that is the lighting, but certainly works. Indeed, can recall very few layouts that portray a dull wet day and fewer still that manage it as successfully as this. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long were the 201's painted like that? Orange livery with full yellow faces. Was it only for a year, around 2006? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Yes, my favourite too! 2005 they started with the yellow ends which they kept when they were repainted into the Inter City Green / Silver. Always looked better on the Orange though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
