I have a range of BR Green diesels and just one BR Blue Class 45, this Farish loco is a very quiet and smooth running loco but it does not fit into the early 60s era of my new layout.
I don't really want to spray this loco and am considering doing a hand painting job on it , can anyone point me into the right direction for Colour, Brand and Type of paint that would be suitable for this job.
If it wasn't such a fantastic runner I would consider trading it but I am very hesitant to do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why not do a body swap - you can get 371-575 CL45 BR green " Royal Artilleryman" No D67 for £13.00 from Bob Russell at BRLines
http://www.brlines.com/products.php?section=2. Is this the right period? Check with him that it will fit your chassis.

Thanks for that Brian, that body shell is spot on for the model I have, thanks very much for the link :thumbsup:

Don't forget to ask Bob to deduct the VAT [@ 20%] for an export order which usually more than covers the postage. One of the advantages of living in the antipodes ;) Best, Brian
Thanks for that Brian, will do.
