Billinton D95
My first attempt to paint the LBSCR umber and cream scheme was on this convered Ratio GWR Composite carriage. With scratchbuilt straight ends it roughly approximates a Billinton D95 Suburban First:
Generally, the only stock that would still be in Stroudley’s varnished mahogany by my time period of around 1911 would have been close-coupled sets of four-wheelers, I have availed myself of a pair of rakes from Hattons and Hornby to bulk out my fleet. They will need work in due course!

I test painted one of my spare Ratio GWR bodies to approximate a Mahogany colour using Burnt Sienna:
I also bought a cheap 6w brake composite and painted that in the Umber and Cream livery of the Billinton period – for now it can fill in for Kemp Town shuttles, or part of a charter train with the D95 4w First!
