[Dog Star]

Anyone who starts arguing here about the colour....

And what if Warren had painted one of these beauties in the 1948 experimental livery for express engines?

 

[Neil]

Oooo, Leeds is lovely. Bearing mind Jordan's comment on colours above could I ask if the shade of BR red used differs from LMS red? I seem to remember there being debate about this some years ago (not sure if it was conclusive) but from the photos the BR one looks to be warmer/more orange.

Very nice indeed, I have not seen guage 1 finescale before. Are they made from kits?

How about this



Regarding BR red and LMS red, i may be corrected but i belive they were the same shade, Crewe used up left over paint from earlier years.

Christian, they are the RTR sancheng ones,

Now that looks nice, a really attractive livery, so very not-red-or-yellow primary colour.

Beautifully finished models, have you ever done any Spam cans? (He asked a bit heretically)

One of those would look very nice running in my garden though
