Netherley's rolling stock

Are you sure they were black?

Hi Rich -

Yes - according to the kit instructions and Atkins et al (p457).

 

Regs

I wondered whether they fitted the same criteria as engineering stock. There was a discussion that they were actually grey!

 

I still wouldn't paint it black.

I'm with Rich on this. Atkins et al. only mention black livery in connection with Z1 and it's just a bald statement with no supporting evidence given. If you look at the various photos on pp 457 and 459, the only examples that could possibly be black all show signs of serious under-exposure. Maybe some were black, but what is the evidence?

Too late now guys - might make for interesting conversations at exhibitions...
