Merddin Emrys and Taliesin are now both in the same shade of red along with Palmerston. This colour has been nixed by us based on archive evidence and from what the local used to describe the colour as, in this case Ruabon brick red. Prince and Princess are also in a shade that almost exactly the same.
David Lloyd George is also in a colour mixed by us but is the colour that was perceived as correct almost 30 years ago now. We now know this to be incorrect from the evidence we have but it'd be boring if all the engines were the same ;o) and hence at its last repaint we kept it the same.
We do know that the original colour of ME was green with rounded corner lining.
