It grows fishing rods in the summer - that's what they look like anyway. The loco colour is described as 'tan', it is rather darker in fact than digital photography renders it, which is more akin to IEGreen. For @Winslow Boy there is also a New Zealand Furry Tea Tree and an Australian Fuscia in that corner, as well as the South American Yucca-ry thing. Very cosmopolitan here doncha know. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Dave Hunt Posted April 13 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 13 In amongst all this scatalogical talk may I bring news that at Hunt Tqwers I am being feted as the man who today walked a mile? The speed could only be described as slow and the progress uphill as hesitant but it was done and I am quite chuffed, even more so when I was presented with, instead of a winner's medal, a rather toothsome egg'n bacon brunch. I am, however, now under orders from The Management not to try for greater distance until it gets a bit easier. I think I will award myself a drop or two of Caol Isla 15 a bit later.

SM42 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) What pleasant day today made all the better by the the weather. First stop, drop Mrs SM42 in Calne Town centre and then head to the exhibition. Not too big a show ( so not there for long to give more time for other stuff) but some good layouts there and it was especially nice to re acquaint myself with Oldshaw. I first saw this layout in Cheltenham ( I think on its debut) and had to have it at our show the following year. Still looks as good as the day I first saw it. Next it was collect Mrs SM42 and then to Devizes for a couple of hours to mooch round the town, then head off to find a white horse en route to Marlborough for another mooch about. Finally dinner at a pub outside Worcester and now we are home and cake is about to be served. Can it get any better?

They should be aquamarine blue with vermillion lining and connecting rods. Having lit the 'blue' touch paper I shall now retire. Green, blue or black* is the correct colour for locomotives but each colour MUST be of the correct shade and red (of the correct "Indian" shade) should of course be reserved for the wheels of blue locomotives 😀 * Three contrasting shades of grey (emulating "silver") are of course eminently suitably alternatives for certain locomotives.

RMweb Premium Dave Hunt Posted April 13 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 13 The subject of locomotive colours is notoriously subjective and whilst my preference in overall locomotive types predisposes me towards crimson lake, I do think that there are definite colours that suit those from other establishments. For instance, middle chrome green is really the only colour for Swindon’s products (best of all when combined with red framing), which is brought home when one looks at the awful ‘Hogwarts’ scheme that just looks all wrong. It is also undoubtable to my mind that Perth blue and crimson on a Caledonian engine and the green of a Highland locomotive were far more suitable than LMS Crimson Lake for those particular machines and the same would apply to a lined black Crewe engine. Bronze green for the NBR also comes to mind. There are, of course many other examples from other companies and the colours of carriages come into the picture but overall I think that we should celebrate our railways’ colourful past and admire their individuality.
