Hi lads,  can anyone throw a few pics of Chris Dyers respray of the 22200 IE rail car set he is selling - just wondering how good it will look by the old 2 foot rule...thanks

Looks good to me

Presumably a repaint of a UK DMU?

It's a lovely paint job, but it has commuter style double doors ar 1/3 and 2/3 rather than single doors at the ends. This probably wouldn't bother a lot of people, but for me just means they look wrong, even from a couple of metres.

Repainted Class 170's

Whoever did the respray for him did a really nice job, but for me it looks too radically different to a genuine class 22k Rotem. There should only be single doors at each end of the coach sides, instead of commuter double doors down the sides of the coach. The donors are clearly commuter stock rather than intercity passenger coaches. Saw them a few years ago in Stillorgan but resisted the temptation.

 

Thought the box labelling was a little misleading because the models contained within are not scale representations or even approximations of Rotem class 22k. Still great christmas present for a child who'd give their eye teeth to have what looks like at a distance a modern Irish DMU set. Eye of the beholder and all that.
