Hi, Isengeards WHR/FR site has some new photos of the cab/tanks/bunkers of two of the Garratts being loaded on a lorry for transfer to Dinas after painting. They are at http://www.isengard.co.uk/#new and then click on new images.

The rear one look, at first glance to be black: but it isn't it is GER blue - and is a very dark blue - Prussin Blue is the colour, the GE used.

The two photos give some ideas for any bits of locos you have re-built, though naturally you will keep them on railway/railroad trucks!
Don't forget to click on the photos for a larger image.

Yours Peter

"A whiter shade of pale" I also note the correct use of hues as opposed to colours, which black and white aint :)

Also LNWR Blackberry Black, the result of many coats of varnish over the black paint.
