Marshall5 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 4 hours ago, doilum said: Is the red livery a nod to the early days of the KWVR ? It is. In the late 60's B.R. actively discouraged the use of B.R. livery once a loco had been sold so most preserved railways painted their locos and rolling stock in pre-B.R. livery or their own 'house' colours. In addition some enthusiasts were quite hostile to B.R. at the end of steam so were keen to rid their locos of any B.R. identity. 41241 was a bit of a compromise in crimson lake with KWVR on the tanks but a B.R. number. After many years in B.R. lined black the KWVR restored the 1968 livery as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations IIRC. Ray. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
