Farish mk.2 carriages - interiors

[guest311]

I've got some of the interiors for the older style BachFar mk.2s, and I wondered what peoples opinions were on whether to paint them or leave them grey as they come.

the carriages will not be lit, still deciding on whether to add figures.

if paint them, any suggestions on the colours for mk.2s in Scotland in late 80s ?

thanks in advance

Id say paint them, shouldnt take too long or much paint, youll know they are done, and if in the future you decide to light the carriages its one less job to do.

Colour wise I would say a navy blue, maybe dry brushed with a lighter blue? Im not sure if this is correct but I cant see it being too far off

cheers for that, so blue for the upholstery, but leave the tables 'formica' grey ?

O yeh, forgot the tables  , Grey sounds reasonable for them, maybe dry brush a bit of white/lighter grey on them as a highlight?

and the floor could be painted black, if you feel its needed?

[guest311]

sounds like that's this evening taken care of 

cheers

Don't forget the empty beer cans and sandwich wrappers along with "yesterday's" newspaper

Too true haha, would be  be quite a task to add something so small though O.o

Beer can - Plastic rod 20 thou." about 3/4mm high

Don't forget the little whisky miniatures bought from the
snacks trolley! I can recall being on one of those trains travelling from
Aberdeen to Glasgow with dozens of beer cans rolling about on the floor.

And to confirm the tables were a sort of grubby pale grey , or was it beige?

[BernardTPM]

Most would have had the 1980s InterCity refurb by then, so strawberry red upholstery and creamy beige table tops.

These were from "oil rig workers " travelling from Aberdeen
as they  said , now there is a booze curfew on Scotrail
trains, presumably includes  trolley service which I
must  say are  manned by friendly and efficient  staff.
