Hi Kerry,
Yeah dark blue might be a better choice although my eyes read it as about half
way in between from the photos but I trust your real life memory. It's probably
possible to do in dark blue but I've certainly not got the funds or inclination
to try it. An alternative to yellow seems impossible.
Am I correct in thinking that the passenger rake uses a wide range of 50s era
cars? I seem to have found various pictures of quite different cars and I know
The Ghan does this.
Thanks for your comments,
Tim
