Nice looking model. Bargain! I agree with others. It is in mint condition so painting it would be a real shame. Your call, but if it ain't broken, why fix it? Happy Modelling
A great addition to the fleet, the BR Green looks so much better than the Blue/Grey, in my view. Lets face it, there always was a transition period from green to blue.................I'd leave it in green but that's only my opinion...............All the very best Dave.
I like the Blue/Grey my era but I like the green now so no respray.Lots of the comments have said keep it green thats good because I think I would have made a pigs ear of it.All the best Dave . Colin.
Well done nice to get a bargain now and then looks a nice clean locomotive personally I’d keep it in the green and look out for it in blue and cream cheers Al
Hi Al , I think it was a bargain you are right no respray but I don't think I could afford the blue/grey e.m.u. too pricey for my budget. all the best Col
That looks like a nice addition to your fleet Colin, it's good to see you're not having any traffic chaos in Mossend, caused by the local refuse collectors ... Cheers James 😁👍
On the video I said B R blue I meant blue and grey with the all yellow ends but I am keeping it green it looks good I have warmed to it but I still want a B R Blue and grey. Thanks for your comment all the best Colin.
Well done - a nice purchase! 👍 Phase 1 unit no.7126 entered service end-March 1959 and received its yellow warning panel 19th April 1966. Unit 7126 was outshopped Blue /Grey (full yellow ends) on 21st November 1968 (it missed out on receiving all-blue livery). It was refurbished 3rd February 1979 and renumbered 411509 (later 1509). I've provided a full history of the 4 CEP units on BloodandCustard.⚡ _On a personal note as Bachmann produce a Blue /Grey 4 CEP and the two liveries ran together (both could be seen with one of the rarer all-blue 4 CEP units) I'd personally consider retaining its green livery._
Thank you for the information, I am not spraying I am keeping it green but my era was blue/grey that's why I wanted one so much but I don't think its in my price range. It's nice to know I can respray if I want to with the information you have given me. Thanks again, all the best Col. p.s. the third rail is hard work but I think it will be worth it.
@@Mossendrailway00 Colin, if you look amongst the photographs of the MLV history there is a Green MLV + Blue/Grey TLV + Green 4 CEP + Blue 4 CEP + Blue /Grey 4 CEP passing through Faversham on 21st April 1968. All that was missing was the (sole) Maroon TLV...... ⚡ Laying the con-rail is time consuming but the final effect is worthwhile. 🙂 _On Ewhurst Green the insulator pots are an interference fit in the sleepers with con-rail removed, sprayed with primer thence painted with sleeper grime before refitting...._ ATB Colin. 😉
It would have to be blue and grey with full yellow ends. That was their state prior to rebuilding at Swindon when they changed the vehicles external appearance substantially.
You are right it dose look good in green but l was just shocked how much the blue and grey e m u s are l am pleased with it and it runs so well,All the best Colin.
Nice looking model.

Hi James you are right I can ' t get my traffic to move all the best to you Colin.
My understanding that the $ CEP comes in Green, with and without warning panel. They also ran in BR blue/ grey, BR Blue and Jasffer cake
On the video I said B R blue I meant blue and grey with the all yellow ends but I am keeping it green it looks good I have warmed to it but I still want a B R Blue and grey. Thanks for your comment all the best Colin.
Why risk spoiling such a lovely model. No matter how good you are at painting, you never get as good a finish as the manufacturer .
You are right I am keeping it green but I still think B R blue and grey is best so I will save up for one all the best Colin.
Personally I like the BR southern region green and I think it would be a shame if you painted it.
Blue/grey was my era but I do like the green , All the comments agree ; so no respray thanks for your comments all the best Colin.
A very nice looking EMU
Thanks for your comment no respray I have seen sense , All the best Colin .
Keep it green, that’s just me ex Eastleigh works
Thanks Fred I am keeping it green you and all the other comments have the same view.All the best Colin.
Well done - a nice purchase! 👍

A few 4 CEP units did receive all-over blue livery (but not 7126). 😉
