Dapol Gresley Corridor 3rd, repainted in teak and renumbered for early BR.
I bought this for my excursion set in factory teak intending only to renumber, forgetting that Dapol's model was early period with lining and a big "3" on every door. I wasn't that impressed with the factory teak finish either: the upper half of the doors was just plain red.
I had even paid for it to be weathered by the shop. They did a nice job which I was loth to lose, so I took the whole thing apart, repainted and reweathered only the sides. Now I'm happier.
