      I stuffed £5 change into my pocket but when I got home it wasn’t there. I went out to the car & saw it at the end of the drive. Lucky! If it had happened the next day, it would have blown miles away.

      There's a whole host of other GWR colours...

      Let's ignore black, as everybody else used it too.

      But that still leaves stone no 1 (cream, used as undercoat), freight grey, early freight red, various shades of engine green (such as the different shade used by Wolverhampton), three shades of red (Indian/Venetian/Chinese), etc...
