[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ntypeman [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bwilcox However, since you live in the UK, you could run BN U50's with less danger of being harrassed by the prototype conformity police. To prove the point, I'm itching to paint a Bachmann Class 66 in New York Central lightning stripe paint..... [/quote] I like your style... I ONCE had a MAD urge to buy a secondhand SP "Dummy" U-boat to paint it into British Rail's "Trainload Freight Colours" [:D], but then the urge passed as quickly as it came. As you quite rightly said..." The prototype conformity police" would only stand there shaking their heads and tutting!!!![:(!] ONE DAY MAYBE...... [/quote] Well, EWS colours are also those of Wisconsin Central, so there's very little stretch there...take a Kato SD45 in WC paint and apply EWS lettering and logos, might look pretty spiffy. And a P42 passenger diesel in Virgin or Midland Mainline livery would look excellent. I did see in a recent issue of BRM or MRM an Athearn SW1500 in SP paint with the SP lettering painted out and Transrail lettering and the "T" logo applied to the hood. So ask the PC Police for their ID and stall them until you put the offending stuff in the closet and run 'em after they leave....
