The Great Bear Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The recent book "GWR Station Colours" says bridge grey, generally, occasionally green IIRC. It gives no indication/sample as to what shade, I think. I think I used steel grey... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted June 10, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 10, 2015 Great Western Way, J.N. Slinn (1985 edition, HMRS) says: "Metal bridges were painted originally in one of two shades of grey, light or dark, later in one steel grey except for some locations, particularly where the Thames Conservancy held sway, where bridge green was used. This green in later days was indistinguishable from engine green" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
