  I believe the carriages are Yatton Model Engineering kits.

Very impressive. You seem to have captured the colour and style perfectly. What paint did you use and where did you get the transfers from?

Thanks

  I got a tin of automotive paint in primrose yellow from eBay and a tin of thinners to thin it down to 50%. I then used a paint sprayer.
  The transfers are from Peter Blackham and are a work of art. They are dry transfers and I found them difficult to use but I am all fingers and thumbs.
  They would be fine to a more experienced user.
  I painted the raised body sides with a brush and painted everything before assembly.
  Cheers,
  Simon.
