Tresoddit Station looks tired @ 4.41 mins -
RAL 5011 is a lining colour not the main body colour, see the Hornby Coronation loco lining and print diagram here

Hatton's call it battleship grey! https://www.hattons.co.uk/newsdetail.aspx?id=666&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=mar-0504-class-w1-announcement-video

Looking at this months Hornby magazine it's described as lead grey with a bit of black with silver boiler bands which sounds great. Although there are 38 different named shades on the RAL grey chart, ranging from things like basalt grey to graphite grey there is no lead grey description for some reason. https://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/news/the-engine-shed/east-coast-line-bumper-edition

Maybe Burt in stores was hard of hearing, he dug out some old tins of window grey instead of green...

I didn't say the Loveless was right or wrong! This kitbuilt at auction shows quite a common colour choice. Better I think than the 18% grey of the box photo.

This set of photos shows the Loveless W1 http://www.loveless.co.uk/gauge1/index.html It's a completely different colour to RAL 7016 anthracite grey Hornby have selected and beloved by modern Architects shown bellow in satin in the shade and gloss in bright sunshine

The flats around the cab window do look to have higher reflectance than the tender. Also the tender sides look matt not satin or gloss used elsewhere. What might of happened is the person making the print burned the tender to make the LNER logo stand out more and not look washed out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodging_and_burning The moving footage shows uniform colour

I've found Rails of Shefield photographs to be accurate in terms of colour balance whenever I've bought from them. There is a small difference though here, the Mallard photos has a warmer white balance.

The excellent Loveless model appears to be painted green gray, almost like German Army Feldgrau RAL 7009 http://www.loveless.co.uk/hushhush/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RAL_colors

The Hornby site diagram shown above seems to be specifying Reichs-Ausschuß für Lieferbedingungen 7016, which a shade of anthracite grey. See outdoor examples here: https://ral-colours.co.uk/ral-classic-colours/grey-shades/ral-7016/

Do you have a link for that thread I can't seem to find it? The Goldenage models site shows an ultramarine and standard BR blue comparison http://www.goldenagemodels.net/sr-locomotives-merchant-navy-class-gallery.html

British No.1 express steamer for me is this P2, the Wolf of Badenoch

Brawa S 2/6 in gray and later DRG colours

The S 2/6 of the Royal Bavarian State Railways (K. Bay.Sts.B.) in Rhineland-Palatinate livery around 1910 to 1912. Recent Trix catalogue image

The ETR version, on the other hand, looks remarkable modern for a train entering service in 1936 and very quick at 126 mph
-
The front of the Italian ATR 100 is a bit of an aquired taste
-
I think so, this is the class 05 at the 1936 Olympics the same year it went over 200 kph

BR01, BR06

I think all of the German streamliners spent more time in the windtunnel, form follows function, rather than the art deco styling of the Coronation and American classes. Here's the BR05 with the lower panels removed
-
Looks more like a Nord Super Pacific. This one used by visting British Royalty
-
The DRG 05 003 of 1937 was both ugly and had technical issues with the cab forward design. The normal class 05 were fine and broke the World speed record in 1936 in streamline form
