I can give date for Henry in the black with red lining ,it is only applicable from June 1986. Livery is incorrect when named Henry, she was in green when moved from Cortaulds to MSC to be renovated. The locomotive was orginally owned by Websters brickworks in Coventry and named Rosabelle. I seem to remember that as I was stripping paint layers off the cab side I found a few shades of green, a maroonish colour and indication of pale yellow lining, before getting to a dark blue/black layer. The final colour of the loco was left to the renovation team, with a stipulation by Cortaulds that the "Henry" name was retained

The Dave Howsam layout was in Model Railway Constructor, not RM. cannot remember the issue date. Adrian
