Hi, and a happy new year to you all. I'm after some advice on BR maroon livery. I want to paint some Mk1 coaches(including sleeping cars) in BR maroon Western region livery and was wondering what colours would be used for the lining and running numbers etc. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. Thanks.

For information on coaches try the Vintage Carriage Trust:
www.vintagecarriagetrust.org
or the Historical Model Railway Society website
(Sorry, I think it's www.hmrs.org but I'm not certain.)

Between these two you should be able to get information on running numbers, liveries and suppliers of paint, number transfers etc.

Hope this is of help to you,
Regards,
John Webb
