    Yes, tank tops, footplate and splasher tops in black, tool boxes and sandboxes in crimson. Here's a Lee Marsh chocolate 517 for a guide (except for the lining of course!!)

    I have never seen a picture of a crimson lake 517 with lining. Apparently, crimson lake for a few 517s was tried in 1919, by which time, lining on tanks had fallen out of fashion. I sometimes wonder if this pic of 828 (Swindon, 1921, looks like it is just out of the shops) is in crimson lake, and there is clearly no lining on it.

    Don't forget to allow for smoke deflectors on the undersides of gantry signals, where these were fitted (some companies seem to like them, others did not).

    Looks like the Practical Wireless circuit vintage 1972.

    3338 - topfeed but seems like no box/cover for the firebox side! Still with polished splasher beading and wooden roof but I can't detect any lining, so maybe 1917-19?

    3313's footplate kink
  7. Miss Prism
    I feel this is something a host should do automatically.

    The later versions of the AMR Handheld from Len Rich had such a switch. And that was getting on for 40 years ago.

    I feel the radii in your footplate kink are a bit too small - here is the Finney etch, where there is nearly no straight part inbetween:

    I agree that topfeed and boxes/covers go together. The cover on 3335 was a non-standard shape (see this post).

    The thing on the right-hand side of the smokebox is the smokebox damper, common at the time. They fell out of fashion c 1918. Very difficult to tell the tender capacity - I suspect it is 2500g, because of the presence of the small springs, although small springs could still be found on 3000g units around that time.

    Yes, big coal lumps, also noticeable in those pics that both 4572 and 4526 take advantage of the lamp shield to coal to the max.

    (St Blazey, 1955)

    I've got a suspicion the positioning of the ATC varied a bit across the class. (Westbury, 1958)

    Undated, but typical early to late-20s. 4407 at Newton, with extended bunker, no cab shutters, front struts fitted, V-shaped cab rainstrip, and looks like a flush-riveted front smokebox ring.

    Thin parallel chimney would be normal for 1919/20.

    I like the shade of grey for the post-1939 roofs. Would perhaps benefit from a very thin brown wash.

    Have updated urls on gwr.org.uk.
  20. Miss Prism
    Indeed, it seems that the inclusion of 'www' will not work. I think the browsers have perhaps not got their act together at the moment, and maybe we are entering an era where the inclusion of 'www' will be deprecated.

    I'm getting "Please stand by while configuration is in progress."
  22. Miss Prism
    Sounds logical, but all coaching stock, passenger-carrying or non-passenger-carrying, did not follow that principle.
  23. Miss Prism
    That is true.
  24. Miss Prism
    I don't think anyone knows. Looks a bit weird in all-over brown.
  25. Miss Prism
    Thanks. I've only delved into this thread in the last day, so, sorry, I missed that earlier colour discussion. I'll go back and do a bit of homework.
