Title: Tornado Post by: moonrakerz on February 14, 2010, 18:17:10 Climbing Upton Scudamore bank between Westbury and Warminster early this afternoon. Shame practically every coach was a different colour.
Would look really special with VSOE's rake of Pullmans behind it, almost as good as Clan Line !

There wasn't anything about it in this forum's "calendar" section, was there?

Surely not chocolate and cream? Blood and custard? BR Maroon? What about varnished teak? As the name suggests, I do live on the ECML! :D Title: Re: Tornado Post by: Chris from Nailsea on February 16, 2010, 20:59:32 Chocolate and cream. Definitely. ::)
Title: Re: Tornado Post by: Phil on February 16, 2010, 21:05:41 Southern green, known at the time as Brunswick Green I do believe, would look rather fetching if I'm honest
(then again, that's probably because to me it brings back fond memories of the rake of coaches on my Triang TT train set...) Title: Re: Tornado Post by: readytostart on February 17, 2010, 01:06:15 Dark blue with pink doors?
Title: Re: Tornado Post by: Deltic on February 17, 2010, 05:24:35 Dark blue with pink doors? Ugh! I think I prefer the maroon myself. It contrasts nicely with the loco, unlike the green. Wasn't it malachite green rather than brunswick? Title: Re: Tornado Post by: Brucey on February 17, 2010, 13:33:30 Dark blue with pink doors? Why not have a dark blue F in a pink circle too!Title: Re: Tornado Post by: Electric train on February 17, 2010, 17:28:56 Southern green, known at the time as Brunswick Green I do believe, would look rather fetching if I'm honest (then again, that's probably because to me it brings back fond memories of the rake of coaches on my Triang TT train set...) The locomotives of the Great Western Railway were Brunswick Green Title: Re: Tornado Post by: Phil on February 17, 2010, 18:02:05 So they were. I was thinking of Malachite Green.
Title: Re: Tornado Post by: moonrakerz on February 17, 2010, 19:31:44 Dark blue with pink doors? Yeah, OK !
