Class 142 second batch

Excellent news. GW choc/cream also ran in Manchester area. Manchester orange/brown is colourful. Original two tone blue looks good. I see Regional Railways livery ran rebranded as ARRIVA on privatisation. Welsh Valley Line is colourful. MerseyRail yellow is another option. Pacer Family book has good photos and dates..

A Northern Rail with the alternative roof detail would be good.

Another northern rail liveried one would be nice, sold out everywhere.

Definitely Choc & Cream for me please.....

edit.....oops.....saw the headline and assumed OO gauge, that’s a shame.......go on, I’ll have two 4mm please

Okay, we are now getting together options for the next batch of Class 142's. The GWR Chocolate & Cream looks like a bit of a cert along with MPTE Manchester. Other livery option ideas would be more than welcome.

Put me down for a chocolate & cream one. I'm building a layout that will be just right for one of those.

Looks nice, the subtle weathering really does set it off nicely!

Good news that a new run is planned for 2020 when will be phased out on main line. GWR choc/cream could be good. Early Provincial, Merseyside and Manchester liveries could be useful. Two books I like are The Pacer by Mackin and The Pacer Family by Kerr.

Pretty straightforward to achieve that with a bit of T-cut or white spirit and a cotton bud ...

Also renumbered to 142091

Northern Rail without branding would be another possibility, as they've been in that state for several years now.

[Joel Dapol]

Thanks for the suggestions, I think all of them would be worthy of the second batch (which is currently being planned for 2020)

Any plans for a second batch?

Would like to see another Northern Rail variant, preferably with the alternative roof ribbing. 142003 would be my pick.

Based on how quick the first batch sold out, I can see them being popular.

Also read a lot of requests for original Provincial Blue, 'Skipper' Chocolate and Cream, and GMPTE grey/red, though these would be out of my era personally.
