You have decided to use two yellow stripes to show the pinstriping-- we also
looked at this and decided that the plate is WAY too thick to simulate the
delicate pinstriping of the coaches. At best one could use the hinge brick
striping technique, but it would only be able to be used for the bottom
stripe (which actually is a double stripe), so that’s not a perfect
solution, either. What we have finally decided to do is to use a plate for
the bottom striping and use a dark red decal stripe through the middle of
that yellow plate to simulate the double striping. The top stripe will be a
thin yellow decal stripe.

Pedant On As far as I can tell from looking at pics of the web of the
Hogwarts Express the coaches are painted in the standard BR maroon livery of
the ‘60s. In which case the twin yellow pinstripes actually have a black line
between them, rather than a maroon one./Pedant On

I really do love Pedant Alerts! :-) This is news to me, and greatly
appreciated! I find that trying to nail down fine details like this is a
serendipitous process at best! When building, I may choose to omit certain
details for any number of reasons, but I always want to have most if not all of
the facts available to me before I begin.
