NBL Atlantic frame colours

I have been asked a question by a Modeller not on RMweb about the inside frame colour on the NBL Ried altantics, I was just wondering if anyone knew what it should be?

Hi there,

 

I've made 3 of these locomotives over the last 30 years, finished in NB and in LNER.

 

When I did the NB one I did a lot of checking but could not confirm the frame colour.

 

As a result I went with the NBR policy of using Frame Red on the inside frames supported by the Wills card which appears to have red inside frames..

 

There are several colour photos on the internet.

 

Here's a model one:-

A web search will give you some more results.

 

Thanks
