That...is not a very good application. What happened to the excellent livery applied last time? To me it looks like they've applied the tampo design used on the Gresley corridors last time out.

Sad to see! I was looking forward to buying a set of these.

Looks like the re-emergence of the old problem which dissuaded the RTR manufacturers from offering LNER product from the fifties on: the coach livery too difficult to reproduce at an affordable price. (These look like they have missed a final stage in application.)

It makes the application of the excellent teak finish to badly flawed substrates that Hornby achieved with Sanda Kan yet more annoying!
