I'd also like to see some decent passenger trains now that bulk windows • and
doors are available. I have scrapped my metroliner and will be building • some
loco-hauled stock, probably still in ML livery. If we all did something
similar, we could get a decent length train going.


I see the train doors and windows are on UK S@H now.
Great.

What colour scheme is ML? (what is ML??)


ML is MetroLiner which uses grey doors and windows (although the doors are
red/white/blue striped, with stickers), as Huw refers to above.

Grey is a handsome color, but I haven't seen a UK train livery that uses
lots of grey. Of course my experience is limited.

Doesn't GWER(??) have a dark blue with yellow trim "shovelnose" articulated?
I think I have a pic somewhere that i got at Clapham Junction.

LEGO blue is too light for a precise model but it might be neat.
