Описание к видео Trenitalia in HO c2012: ViTrains / Lima Expert Vivalto E464 Regionale Veloce vs Frecciabianca

Here is a video showing what happens if you mix up Lima Expert and ViTrains Vivalto coaches. The newly released Lima coaches are from the first series (2005), whereas the ViTrains examples are second series (2012). I don't think the different series mix in real life, but you would have to be watching closely to spot the differences.
So this is my 6 coach, E464 mixed rake. I am not going to say which is ViTrains and which is Lima Expert, but have to say, I think it looks awesome at speed! Maybe it is on a Firenze to Viareggio service!
The other train is my Frecciabianca rake, but this time with an imposter. Around 2012, you could still see occasional coaches in ESCI grey/red livery included in Frecciabianca rakes. Here is an example:    • E402.118 Frecciabianca + Invio nuove ...  
ESCI liveried coaches are really hard to come by (only ACME produced them), so I took the brave step of repainting a coach myself, and made my own logos. This is a really tricky livery to paint, trust me! I used an old scale length Roco Eurofima, as they are cheap and availalbe. The base colour is Puravest XMPR light grey, the window surrounds are Humbrol British Rail grey, the red is DB red and the other greys are Humbrol 123 and 67. The finish isn't perfect, as the curved parts were a nightmare, but it is actually a great looking livery, as a full rake "animates" when it passes by at speed. I may paint up other coaches when I have time, but there is no way I am doing a rake all in one go- it woudl drive me mad!
