My hand is raised

How many of us expressed an interest in the Dapol West Country/Battle of Britain pacifics in 2011?

Dapol have just announced decorated samples of their forthcoming BGs and Refurbished Buffets . . . .

Hello Jim,

I'm afraid I don't have a direct answer for you but I just found a webpage with all British railway colours in hex and rgb numbers.
Maybe you can match the Vallejo range to these colours?

*Mods, if this needs to be placed in different section, please do so, or let me know, I'll delete and re-post*

I'm planning t purchase several 3d printed locos from Gosport Rail Works. As it is either impossible or very difficult/expensive to get paints from the UK, anyone know of close matches to Wainwright Green, or Stroudley's Improved Engine Green in any of the generally available paint lines, such as Vallejo, Gamer's Workshop, etc..

Thanks

Jim

Quote from: Bazza on May 30, 2026, 04:50:46 PMHas anyone provided feedback to Rails about the huge amount of emails that include very little N gauge news and information about the primary interest of the potential customer? Perhaps they could structure the marketing output to include only specific news about particular scales/gauges chosen to prevent people being overwhelmed with information about scales and gauges that are of no interest.

Just did! It's a good idea.

Hello Sott,


At the moment there isn't a way to do this (N Gauge Only Emails) but I have passed your comment on to our team for them to take a look into for you.


Kind regards

Georgia

So you've now been modelling the southern railway for twice as long as it existed

I do hope young Rod was happy with the set of car seat covers he was paid for the session!
