Searched. No can find. R you sure about Halifax with that name ? 'Ruhr Express' is a Lancaster and a painting of it.
And a lot of Ruhr Raiders are B-17. Did not find 'Ruhr Valley Express' Halifax, Sorry. :-?

UDATE: got this
http://books.google.ca/books?id=acDuf2K ... ss&f=false

An in line engines version of Halifax with Rolls Royce Merlins (BII ??).

VOILA PICTURE !: move up two pics above in that thread and find the nose art in black and white. :)

That's a though one: very complex train art, funky stuff !!!! :wink:
The wagons are like BOMBS on single wheel cars. No7 and No10 have two bombs nose-in, giving the No7 like a 'Frankfurt' look. :guncool:
Some in between-cars are dots, others pics like "little scrubbing bubble-pacman" or somethin' ????
I think I read the word ""BAM"" over the last car (No10), so there must be other comments such as this all over.
Could be the train is running over the bubble-guys heads, one more guy still running in front of it !!! :twisted:
The "ZEP pic" in front of all, is the running-guy's caption:"after each raid, another truck is added". Below-right is 28
(Interpretation: each car is a target with name over it; 'pics' = other events; two bombs = striked twice; last word could be ""Dam"")
Background may be blue (insignia) over pale spray (light grey or white, even yellow).

A friend of mine made some skins previously, you could try contacting Holden at http://www.legionxiii.org, but I am unsure as to whether he was intending to publish them.

Worth a try. 8)
