Passenger Coaches

I have 3 Bachmann Jackson Sharp coaches that form a passenger train.


Originally they were a gawdy canary yellow, the same as the picture below, that just did not please my eye. 

Observation Coach


So I repainted them to a colour more attune to Australian rolling stock.

Baggage/Passenger Combination

I used spray pack paints that I bought from an auto parts store, they are cheap but do a good job the only downfall being that the colour selection is limited, I generally only use whatever few colours are available but I think I achieve good results with them

The colours I used for this paint was;
  • Grey Primer = all over
  • Chassis = Satin Black
  • Bodywork = Indian Red
  • Roof = Machinery Grey with a dusting of Matt Black to simulate soot
  • Clerestory Windows = Brunswick Green

These coaches are pulled by an LGB 20231“Shorty” 2-4-0 steam loco that is called "Peanuts".
