L&B Loco colour

Post by Crackingjob » Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:19 am

Can anyone tell me what shade of green were the original Manning Locos painted and what brand/shade I should use for my Loco to be near to the original colour?...No I don't want black or BR green.

Very similar to highland green with vermillion red frames buy most accounts.

Well the vermerlion red is stated in a few books but I cant imagine them with buffer beam red frames though.
