B12/3 - BR Liveries
Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 12:14 pm
Hi everyone,
When Tri-ang(Hornby) issued their model, I unwittingly assumed that all of the locos were liveried as lined black.
This state of affairs lasted until I purchased Locomotives Illustrated 77 in which I found that Stratford - for whatever reason - turned out many in plain black.
I have now recently seen for sale on ebay a version with the early crest in unlined green. Were there any locos in this livery? (I can't find any info relating to this but would assume that some of the Scottish greens would have carried "British Railways" on the tender.
