Is the red livery a nod to the early days of the KWVR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted October 22, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 22, 2021 Nice rolling bars - are they still available? It looks like they work on the same principle as my old Ian Cherry ones - unlike the GW rollers which don't drive the work through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Michael, They were made by metal smith ltd from Kettering, and are 12" wide and very solid, l bought them at a show at Preston a few years ago for £100, makes rolling a boiler etc so much easier.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
