Hi all,

I have been a member for a long time but this is the first time I post.

I am 62 years old and have been a model engineer for as long as I can remember.My main interests are Live steam locomotivs and toolmaking.

I have a 3.5" Tich locomotive which is nearly 40 years old but runs very well. I am currently trying to finish my BR class2 locomotive in 7,25" gauge. This has been a long built nearly 40 years and now I have a question about the collor insade the cab. I know it is black upp to the windovs but what is the correct color for the rest of the cab.

Regards

Jan

Hi Jan. East Somerset Railway have got one and they might be able to help you if you email them using this LINK.

PS: That might be the wrong loco.

Hi all,

Thank´s Neil, happy to be here. This is a great forum and I look forward to ask questins. I also want to help answer questions if I can. Model Engineering is facinating hobby.

Hej Mike,

Tack,thank´s. I live in Gothenburg, perhaps you have been there.

Hi Nick,

Yes it´s the wrong locomotive. Mine is a BR Class 2. The one in the link is an Ivatt Class 2, but thanks anyway.

Regards

Welcome also Jan……
Cab interior colours – I've looked in Jenkinson & Essery's book but as it's mainly LMS, it doesn't give an answer to your specific question.
This link isn't an answer either, but it might indicate that your choice is not that critical !!

Hi Fowlers Fury,

Thank´s for taking your time and sending me this link. This confirms what i suspected. Apparently there was a variation of colours inside cab. I have looked at films on You Tub and most BR cabs are either light grey, almost white or have a ligh yellow colour. I think I will paint my cab light grey, but first I have to spraypaint the outsides black. I will post some pictures later on so you can see the final result.

Regards

Jan
