Bulleid Three-Coach Sets no: 770-793

Shamrock Finescale three-coach sets will be produced in two livery styles – Southern Railway malachite green and British Railways Southern Region green. Three-coach sets were never painted in British Railways blood and custard (carmine and cream) as opposed to some of the Bournemouth six-coach sets, but it was normal for Bournemouth and West of England express trains from 1948 to 1956 to run with a mix of both livery styles. Three-coach sets also appeared regularly on the Somerset & Dorset line between Bath Green Park and Bournemouth West, and were seen further afield on inter-regional traffic.
