Hi Everyone,
I have just got back from Paddington Station, I went there this eveing to have a look at FGW's Night Riviera Sleeper Train in the flesh, Why? you may ask, well since hornby are about to release FGW Mk III's Coaches in "*** Packet Livery, and I already own a Bachmann FGW 57, and x 4 MkIID Coaches in *** Paket colours, I went to have a look at the configuration, well I know that most of you are aware that now the trains are made up of all MkIII stock inc a TGF, FO TSO and either 3 or on Friday nights only 4 MkIII sleppers,
Well what a shock I got in the middle of the gorgeous *** packet rake was a Mk III Sleeper in the new FGW "Barbie" colour scheme!!!
Makes you ponder ?
FGW have 3 rakes of these trains, 2 in service and 1 as a reserve, or so I have been told, so how long before the trains are completely re painted,
BTW I' still getting my Honby Mk III *** packet sleepr Coaches either way
