Unobtainable liveries

[sandy]

I cant ever remember seeing a RTR loco in North British Railway livery Era 2. I am hoping some body is going to tell me I an wrong because I want a couple. I think I am going to have to repaint a couple of LNER locos to satisfy my needs. That is if I can find a model which fits the bill.

Hi Sandy.
I have come across London Road Models.

That should keep you occupied building one of those.

Then there is the North British Railway Study Group.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions but now I am into my 70s with old eyes and hands I am not into building loco kits nice though they are. I will get a suitable LNER or something that looks the part and have it repainted NBR livery.

I haven’t tried building a loco but do build wagon kits, even with my very dodgy eye, very enjoyable.

I don't think I have the time left for all that I must concentrate on finishing the layout. Thats just the way it is Brian

I agree Sandy. A wagon takes about 4 hours but some of the loco builds I see on another forum take about 4 years.

Have been poking around the net and I think I will try and find a Hornby J36, trouble is they only made 500 of them, after I have paid for our new sofa in February and Christmas. If I have any money left.

Three on eBay at present.
