LNER Brown/cream 1923 Buildings paint schedule

Post by Trev21 »

I have spent many hours trying to find the LNER post-grouping, brown-cream based paint schedule.
Maybe I wasn't searching in the right way, but find it online I could not!

However - I have now found it, it is quoted in 'The Modellers' Guide to the LNER' (David Adair,1987), and I attach it here for anyone else who wants it.

Whether it was actually produced in 1923 I doubt, but have worded the title to aid internet browsers!

I apologise for the badly aligned poor quality image; scanning from a book isn't my greatest skill, it is over several pages and the typeface in the book is quite small and on the feint side... But if you click on the image, rather than try and read it as it comes up on the forum page, it is much clearer and a screen-shot should do the trick, or maybe you can copy the file, haven't tried that.

The mention of Chocolate Oxide pins it down to the 1930-37 period specification; the 1923 specification states Light Brown or Light Stone.

Have the owners of the book’s copyright consented to reproduction of that extract?

The text is a direct lift from that published by the LNER Society/Study Group (of which the author of that book was a member, David Adair was a pen name) in its 1975 Seminar papers and has been reproduced in other places. It obviously dates back to c1930 and was prepared by the relevant LNER staff.

Yeah copyright law gets complicated. I think we're okay in this case but don't make a habit of it -eg. more of the book.
