Yes, so much simpler its only on off and a tail light. A stay alive could have been added to the light pcb although the lights didn't flicker very much thanks to all wheel pick up
Interesting and informative review of this GWR-Crimson liveried stock - thank you for sharing! 👍 The details of this stock are absolutely superb and (hopefully) friends will bring examples along to run on Ewhurst Green! 😉 For those who were not aware, early applications of the BR Crimson Lake livery had horizontal waist-height lining. However, this was quickly discontinued and presumably does not feature on Dapol's BR Crimson Lake liveried releases. The WR started using Crimson Lake from around May 1949 [I have covered some of this information on Blood and Custard]. 🙂 PS do like the use of a Black Motor! 🌞
"The crimson lake colour covered the entire sides. Lining was in gold. Ends were all black, but the handrails to the roof were in crimson lake. Lettering included a single 'G W R' in the side panel above the garter crest. Roofs were white, with a 2" black border at the roof ends." So the simple answer is 'because that's what colour they were'. These are MODELS, not toys.
Nice coaches, but coaches that wobble drive me nuts.
They should do what Accurascale do and use magnetic switches, no need to much about with DCC chips.

Great quality for once....really good to see carriages as they should be..
It's one of Dapol's better efforts, good weight, brass door furniture and really nice lights
Why do they always produce them with white roofs? A pity they did not try the attractive American bogies.

The BR crimson versions have a grey roof.
@@Greenline718 Which is correct for non-corridor BR stock.
Nice coaches. I only watch when steamies are running.
😄 I know!
