Title: Gaugemaster Class 73 Colour Correction
Post by: Mr Sprue on October 15, 2021, 04:15:33 PM
After the many months of toing and froing rejecting colour matches etc, surely there must be now many class 73 body shells destined for the scrap bin.

But however this could be the answer for recovering those body shells and possibly launching this livery!

Unfortunately, the Dapol didnt think to make the tooling adaptable to do the tree growing out of the top... ::)

Which liveries are you specifically rejecting?

I would reject their earlier Exec livery Broadlands, and quite possibly the latest BR banger blue and Network Rail liveries.

I hope (I have not received mine yet) that the BR green and early blue liveries are OK, given Dapol has already done these, and I was told that Dapol rather than Gaugemaster were responsible for the liveries on the N gauge versions.

PS I still think someone has red-green colour blindness who specifies these liveries, and is not admitting to it.

I still like my red one as it goes well with the red coaches I have 8)

Is this a cake or biscuit thread?
Lord help us if it evolved into NSE toothpaste livery 😬

Oh they do one of those already!
