Hello All
Yes Im at it again
Some of you may be familiar with my single fairlie "Guenevere"

Its been about a bit and the Caley blue spray job I resprayed it in from its original colour of Caley blue was my first ever spray job. Needless to say it now looks horrid with the paint blistering and the lining falling off. So she's in for another respray. Can you guess which Colour. Answers on the poll and in the replies please. The first member to get the correct answer will win a badly rotted tooth I found the in the coppermill signal box restoration appeal box.

It can't be called project Z without being painted dark blue!

As usual with these things I actually know what colour its going. And as last time I'm not saying what it is so that Cecil can have his suprise again. I think it will look ace in this colour though

Ive gone for the NWNGR red which i think would look nice but is probably too sensible

NWNGR red

I think NWNGR would be spot on too.

Hi guys.
Well I bought some paint from Halfords (I know I must be desperate) and it was a little lighter than what I expected it but I like the colour so what the hell. It is still similar to the colour in the poll but probably slightly different. Oh well if rivet colunters point it out they will be asked to provide photographic evidence of the actual colour which will require the use of a time machine to find.

Well I reckon from what Cecil's said there, the game has been given away!

I bought some dark blue from halfords and it was much lighter than expected!

Does anyone know any of the correct matches for the above colours from halfords.
As for time machines that could be any of them save for TTE Blue and 87 blue as nobody knows the exaxt matches for all the rest .

Damn! I'd like to see a 16mm loco in 87 blue, think it would look good!

It's impossible for anything to look good in that dreadful colour.

MoelygestLR · Post by **MoelygestLR** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:05 pm

dreadful?

I thought you liked it?

ptlrcecil · Post by **ptlrcecil** » Sat Sep 04, 2010 3:24 pm

Well Cecil tried to post some pics this morning, however his computer crashed and burned and so he couldn't. So instead here are a couple of pics of Guenevere in her new livery of....

North Wales Narrow Gauge Railway maroon! (with full tasty lining)
The cab has also been raised, and other details changed to make to loco more reminicent of the NWNG 0-6-4T Fairlies Moel Tryfan and Snowden Ranger. The result is a big improvement in the looks of the loco
Another pic

I'll post pics from my birthday moment in a moment

Oh yes and DLRdan wins the rotten tooth. PM me your address and Cecil will send you your "prize"
