This great news form Bachmann that they will be releasing the ex LBSCR E4 in LBSCR Umber, Southern Green, Early BR and Late BR means I am spoilt for choice. Despite Hastings Harbour being a layout set in the late 1950's/early 1960's of which the BR colours would be suitable, the LBSCR and SR colours really appeal to me. Thinking if I do get either the LBSCR or SR or both, then i could run it as a special or a station pilot. Brighton had a Terrier in LBSCR improved engine green for shutning duites late into the 60's.

Ideas????

If the Southern green apes Birch Grove as currently painted, then it represents the SR in the '20s, rather as the umber will be post-1905 LBSCR. There is then a gap until early-BR. The GE Division had a very pretty little blue pilot at Liv St into the '60s, too, so there are precedents elsewhere for a heritage paint-scheme. E4s regularly worked across the marshes to Ashford, so the loco is right for the locale, but only you can decide which livery will be most pleasing.

Thanks for your comments. I was interested to read your entry Oldddudders, I heard a few stations used to use a pre grouping loco as a pilot in old or odd liveries. Its given me ideas :)
