LNWRNORM

Thanks to all of you for this information, and especially thanks to Larry for the paint panel. I now have several ideas and leads to follow to try and achieve the colour match. Norman

Hi Penlan, Thanks very much for all that. In your last post you say purple for the bottom of the coach, is there a precision paint for that and if so what is it called? Doh! just looked at the Precision paints listings, its called LNWR plum isnt it! I understand from my research some people add a bit of GWR Brown to the Crimson Lake to darken the colour, but I would agree with you that purple or plum seems a closer match to what I am seeing. So an order to Precision paints seem to be the answer. Norman

I am looking to build a LNWR coach in the very near future and am seeking advice on the colours required. I know roughly what the colours are, but is there a definate match available from the paint makers? For example, the main coach colour appears to be Crimson Lake, but in reality this doesnt appear to be dark enough. The top half is white, but appears to be a bluey white to me. It is my intention to brush paint at the moment. I would be very grateful if someone like Larry (Coachman), or anyone who knows their stuff, could nudge me in the right direction. Thanks Norman

Well, thats mine ordered as well, No222 apparently. Next problem, apart from having it delivered to my place of work and them smuggling it in, is how to explain that, once discovered, (she has spies everywhere) its not the Beatie tank I was allowed to order, but something else................ This is going to be an expensive christmas as I shall undoubtably have to reciprocate with something blingy!
