Despite the fact that all my other passenger stock is green, this railcar seemed to suit red best - although I have no idea why! And so red it is. I also wanted a "wiped-clean" look, not uncared for, but a well-used look. Rob's sublte touches with the airbrush have really brought out the panelling and underframe detail. All it needs now is the couplings re-fitting (in case of a luggage trailer being required), and of course some passengers!

Railcar painted
The Railcar has been with my friend Rob Kaczmarczyk for painting, and today I got it back. And he has done a great job!

Looks excellent, great work from both of you!
