'Neptune', which ran on the Far Tottering and Oyster-creek Railway. A 15" gauge passenger carrying line designed for the 1951 Festival of Britain exhibition.

I never run out of interesting details to look at on your models, Peter.
Couldn't top that if I wanted to, but to contribute something:

"Still-Unnamed Fictional Sugar Milling Company" livery. The roster is unusually well-maintained for a sugar mill, and crews expected to take pride in their charges and keep them reasonably clean.
With few exceptions over the years, steam locos were always green with red trim. I/C locos shared this livery in the inter-war years, changing to yellow at overhaul from the late 1940s..
