You have decided to use two yellow stripes to show the pinstriping-- we also
looked at this and decided that the plate is WAY too thick to simulate the
delicate pinstriping of the coaches. At best one could use the hinge brick
striping technique, but it would only be able to be used for the bottom
stripe (which actually is a double stripe), so that’s not a perfect solution,
either. What we have finally decided to do is to use a plate for the bottom
striping and use a dark red decal stripe through the middle of that yellow
plate to simulate the double striping. The top stripe will be a thin yellow
decal stripe.

Pedant On As far as I can tell from looking at pics of the web of the Hogwarts
Express the coaches are painted in the standard BR maroon livery of the ‘60s. In
which case the twin yellow pinstripes actually have a black line between them,
rather than a maroon one./Pedant On

| (...) Nice effort, Tim and James. This is especially interesting to me (and Ross) because we (in the sense that I acquire the needed bricks and he assembles them;-) have studied the Hogwarts Express at length, from finding pics and schematics online (...)
