SneakyZaku Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hello Hornby Community! I have a request to make, in regards to a set of coaches which I recently come into posession of! said coaches being the ones that were included in the Hamleys express ( number 207, for those interested!), I know it would be incredibly difficult to find another set for which to use the coaches out of, so I instead look for coaches which have a very similair colour scheme. Hence why I ask! for those whom do not know what the train looks like, here is an image that was quickly looted from google images.http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTMxOVgxNjAw/z/MYsAAOSwPgxVK41p/%24_1.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VESPA Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 They look like the gresley Railroad coaches in a maroon livery. You may be able to find something similar secondhand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hornby "Gresley" LNER type coaches. British Railways (BR) Maroon. (Post 1956).The only real difference is that the BR coaches don't have "Hamleys" on them! Otherwise, exactly the same.There are some on that Auction Site.....Gresley Maroon Coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyZaku Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Excellent! so the coaches I am looking for, are the Gresley Maroon Coaches! I would like to thank you both for your responses, I have been wanting to expand my train by a coach or two, and now I know how to, without resorting to paying another hundred pounds for a second set! 😆Thank you again for your help and support!

96RAF Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Could you not replicate the Hamleys logo on the coaches on your PC and make your own transfers using that clever computer printer paper that I just cannot remember the name of - it advertises in the model mags - Crafty maybe - bring any basic maroon coaches up to your Hamleys spec.

SneakyZaku Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 That is not a bad idea, provided I remember what coaches are original, that might be possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 he only has the occasional bad idea. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
