Hi. Can anyone please point me in the direction of the correct colour scheme for such chassis parts as frames,inside frames, buffer beams, axles. running boards splashers etc for the above model. Also a current approximation of the GER blue forthe main details.
Hi Brian, in L.B.S.C.'s notes he says the big sister was in Royal Blue and lined out in black and red, and the inside of the cab was a kind of buff, the inside of the frames being grey while the outside were black.The wheels were blue and the tyres black The smoke-box, chimney, running boards, tender top and cab roof were all black. The coupling-rod flutes and buffer beams were red along with the guard irons.
Below is a photo of GER E4 (T26) No. 490 that I took at Bressingham Steam Museum back in the mid 90's, it doesn't give the colour true justice but should give you a reasonable idea. I believe most of the GER engines of this period had much the same livery.
There are some close ups and one of the inside of the cab in my GER E4 (T26) No. 490 album.
Thank you both for the very helpful info & links. The photos are especially helpful. I willhave to pay a visit to Bressingham but its a long old drag from North Wales!!
Kind regards
Brian K
