BR Class 150 Sprinter (Coach 1)

Description
(If you have a particular livery you'd like me to make, you may leave a request in the comments. However, if you do not word your request as a polite question, I will not honour your request. This is because I really hate getting the idea that I'm being told to do something).

('make wilson from chuggington' is an example of the WRONG way to word a request. The preferred way is something like this - 'Is there any chance you could make the Chuggington character 'Wilson'?).

This re-skin is specifically based on a real-life Class 150. In this case, it's based on No. 150233 as she looked in her original condition.

The Class 150/2 was the third and final variant of the 150 series to be built. A total of 85 units were built to this design, with construction taking place at British Rail Engineering Limited in York sometime around 1987. They were the only Class 150 variant to feature gangway connections, as the previous 150/0 and 150/1 units didn't have them.

The livery on this re-skin is directly inspired by the original 'Sprinter' livery, as seen on the Class 150 units when they were first built. This livery has long since disappeared from the 150's.

Today the Class 150/2's are still in use on many outer suburban and regional lines throughout England and Wales. They were running in Scotland up until the early 2000's. Due to a different track gauge, they can-not operate in Northern Ireland.

In real-life, Class 150 No. 150233 is now operated by Great Western Railway (not the original GWR, but a modern day train operating company of the same name). GWR mainly use their 150's on local services west of Exeter. They are the mainstay of the surviving passenger branches west of Plymouth, which are the Gunnislake, Looe, Newquay, Falmouth and St. Ives lines.
