I have just started to collect a rake of Bachmann and Hornby Pullmans to represent the sort of mixed set that ran on the ECML in about 1961. The Bachmann ones have a pale coloured roof that may be right for a brand new carriage, but none of the photos in my reference books show anything but the usual dirty grey. I am considering a respray job.
I have kit built a number of carriages in the past, and realise that the roofs need to be sprayed to get a reasonable finish but in this case it is part of the bodyshell and cannot be separated from the sides. Has anybody had any success with respraying the modern Bachmann Mk1 product and if so, how did you mask the finely detailed paintwork on the sides?
