The tender is coming along for 'Padstow' and its the 5,500 (cut down) version, also had a visit to 'Haworth on Saturday and spotted this loco at the station, Not a favourite colour of mine, think it would be better in BR lined black ??

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.

Having a little break from the Bulleid, and having a go at scratch building a turn table in O gauge, it is only a small one for a little layout being built by friend, who will only have tank locos to turn ?

Cracking job mate, but still looks huge, even though its only for Tank Locos.
