The EHLR colour scheme?

As progress is made on the EHLR locomotive, coach and first items of rolling stock thoughts turned to colour scheme...

A trip to Brookside garden centre this afternoon to take Elly and Alex on the railway meant I could drop into the model shop and peruse the Humbrol options. Elly helped me pick a satin mid green for the engine and a mid grey for the freight stock which we both thought would complement the dusky musky red maroon of the coach. 

In these photos you can also see I've added beading to the cab.

More soon...
