I could almost guarantee chaps, you won't ever see an official 00 or HO model of Lady, ever.

Appeared in one movie, one straight to DVD special, and never seen again. She may be popular in fan-circles, but she has proved to be a one and a half hit wonder when it comes to the thing which matters most: profit.

On the other hand, Hornby proved me wrong and did use their railroad 9F to make Murdoch, so what do I know about it!

If any of the female characters was going to appear, I would say Rosie is the most likely as she has reappeared in the CGI series.

Dear SAC,
The paints are mixed at the factory, and are unavailable here. When I really need a perfect match I have paint mixed at a local auto parts store.
Have fun!

Fair enough - thanks for your prompt reply

Hi,
Don't know if this is any help but have just done a G Annie conversion with Claribel due for the workshop in the near future.

That is superb work - however, one minor critique. The buffer shanks should be black - the Bachmann models all seem to perpetuate that the buffer shanks are red on coaches. This is probably due to the latest CGI having them at some point in the promotional pictures for the first CGI special. All coaching buffer shanks, unless otherwise noted exceptions, should be black in colour.

Not your fault mind - it is a livery error perpetuated, sadly, by the show.

Probably a silly question - could samples of the paint used, be made available?

I have in mind for a future comparison video, preparing a "customized" version of one of the Bachmann models, and knowing what specific paint to use (if it is available of course) would help give a decent finish.
