Shamrock Finescale three-coach sets will be produced in two livery styles – Southern Railway malachite green and British Railways Southern Region green. Three-coach sets were never painted in British Railways blood and custard (carmine and cream) as opposed to some of the Bournemouth six-coach sets, but it was normal for Bournemouth and West of England express trains from 1948 to 1956 to run with a mix of both livery styles.
Individual carriages are priced at £625.00. If ordering a set, the price of each carriage is reduced to £600.00.
Malachite green with green ends: Southern Railway lettering and numbers
