Liner looks well, When the real fertilizer wagons were in operation, they were always marshalled next to the locomotive when laden,with the bogie containers next then bogie Guinness and two axle wagons after that. It was generally the same when the wagons were returned empty to North wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIRCLASS80 Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Going to spray a rake of coaches in NIR Inter City livery. Started a colour test on a standard brake that NIR. Both blue and grey too dark but good practice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Hard to tell in artificial light, but the grey's not bad.... I think there would be a grey band above window level too - the blue right up to the cantrail seems to have appeared when the turquoise band replaced the "bumblebee" mid-waist lining. Very nice job you've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Maybe NIR forgot it too when they repainted the turquoise band over the bumblebee stripes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhu Varren Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 You have done a superb paint job there. Unfortunately, there are one or two errors, including JHB's observation about the gray band above the windows. Another omission is the black band along the bottom of the side in line with the step recesses. My third observation is the ends of the roof, which should be roof colour down to a line on the coach end in line with the gutters. The coach you have used is the earlier Mk 2/2a, none of which were ever used by NIR. NIR used the Mk 2b/2c which were different. The Mk2b/2c had an extension of the gutters round the coach end to the gangway. This was needed due to the 'wrap round' doors fitted to the Mk 2b/2c. The Mk2/2a had traditional doors fitted, and gutters were not fitted to the ends. This can be seen on some RPSI coaching stock of Mk2/2a design, obtained direct from BR sources, where the roof colour is carried down to where the gutters would be on the Mk 2b/2c. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am well aware of the coach type not running on NIR but it’s more about representation of a train than a accurate model. Added the stripe above the windows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intercity coach If its the livery of the leading brake coach you're referring to, I always associate it with the 80 Class but I often forget that of course the Mk2s got the scheme as well. Looks great regardless, one of the more photogenic liveries in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galteemore Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Think it’s the second coach in question. Dates back to NIR’s intercity/suburban split. The suburban livery was pretty awful compared to the glory days of maroon and blue. Lovely models BTW!!

Alway thought the earlier version and that one with its tippex edge looked really well. It's actually hard to reproduce it well on a model. I think @Dhu Varren did a really nice job on this livery also, a few years back @Galteemore It wasn't bad when new but that wasn't always pristine as you say. Yes, lovely layout this one Edited July 26, 2020 by DiveController 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
