An off the wall question if I may, the model of 34081 that Hornby did a few years back in Malachite green, but with BR number & British Railways written on the tender - is that representing a livery that the loco carried during it's early BR years or the livery as carried now in preservation?

If memory serves, she did wear malachite green when new, however I think the model 92 Squadron is as preserved

The question then is whether the tender was originally lettered ( presumably in SOUTHERN style ) or blank ? .......... no doubt "The Book of ...." will say.

There is photographic record of 34081 in Malachite with British Railways and numbering in Southern style but sans nameplates which appear not have been fitted until repainted into BR green.

 

But I invoke rule one.
