Postwar GWR Hall liveries

Thank you, it's a bit confusing when there's a picture of a model that doesn't have the underlined features. -
Postwar GWR Hall liveries

Quick question, would the Hall have retained its brass safety valve and copper capped chimney or would they have been painted over? -
Hi everyone, I have Great Western Railway Journal magazine issue 7 (Summer 1993) and it notes the following repainted 4-6-0 locos (King, Castle, Star, Saint, Hall, Manor) from April 1942 to April 1944. I was just curious if anyone knew if any King class engines were repainted in March 1942? Thank you in advance.

As part of my wartime black GWR King (Link Here), I am at the stage of paining it. I've put two coats of spray primer on it on everything and I am looking to spray it with black. My question is; what is the best way to protect the front/rear buffers and the safety value so they don't end up black and can be painted at a later time? (Red for the front/rear buffers and brass for the safety valve). Thank you in advance.

Very well said Mike. One thing to remember is that model railways are somewhat unique in terms of customer spending. There are definitely customers who aren't being financially affected by the current situation due to government/company pension income or just financially prudent/wealthy in general. So there will always be demand for model railways from a customer point of view.
