Title: Prototype HST Mk3
Post by: BrakeCoach on April 03, 2017, 11:15:45 AM
Hello.
I am trying to make a Mk3 prototype coach E11000. So I know that I need a Mk3a coach, but how can I paint it? There are no vinyls about it. What colour of paint is the most accurate?
:thankyousign:

Is this not the correct vinyl for the proto HST then?

"British Rail Prototype HST Reverse Blue/Grey Livery - Coaches Only"

Hi

Yes it is but there isn't actually anywhere that shows it being available unlike some of the others.

Cheers

Well at the top of that page it says:-

"The following HST Vehicles are available to order in N Gauge, designed to fit the Graham Farish Mark 3 coaches and power cars."

So presumably they ARE available to order, worth contacting Adam @captainelectra (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=9) and asking I would've thought? ???
