MrWolf Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) It's not Rudolf Hess, the eyebrows aren't scary enough. They might not scare off the crows, but Nazi scarecrows would freak out the trendy sanctimonious vegans down on the local allotment.

Try Chief Petty Officer! I did give you all a clue with the "Lark" reference- meaning Navy Lark in which Jon Pertwee was the CPO- and Leslie Phillips the Sub! Good job I didn't go for a Doctor (Who ) line, that would have got you all in a spin(ning Police Box)!! Sorry, I'll try to be serious in future?

MrWolf Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Does anyone know for certain what colour the inside of GWR cabs were painted? Most I have seen appear to be black, as your model, but I have seen a number of models with closed cabs or early locos with the interior painted a dark cream colour. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) When painting the interior of a loco I try to find a suitable picture. Here I used an actual one of the preserved loco Bradley Manor which I used as a guide. I say guide as some of the details where different but not enough to cause an issue (to me) at this scale. The main colour is my normal BlackGrey shade. Excuse the poor quality but I took a picture of the computer screen as I was to tight to print one off....

I believe all loco cabs were green, inside and out, in GW days. Boiler in metal-sheen-black-steel. one reference here. http://www.gwr.org.uk/liveriesloco1906.html I believe both Alan Brackenborough and Malcolm Mitchell did painting guides, but I can’t put my hand on them now. Otherwise, Didcot or Pendon museums can provide more certainty. atb Simon 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, Didcot or Pendon museums can provide more certainty. atb Simon Yes. The Great Western Way (2nd edition) says that in this period cabs were "Mid Chrome Green" (Loco Green) inside, including the inside of the roof. The footplate was black except timber areas, which were left natural. Much earlier (pre-1906) it refers to a report of the cab interior being painted "Vermilion" (China Red) up to the top of the splashers, with black and orange lining at the junction with the green above! Much more fancy! Edited September 16, 2020 by Harlequin 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
