Paraphrased from Jack Slinn's book 'Great Western Way' published by the Historical Model Railway Society: From 1942 less important engines had letters GWR widely spaced (but at this time only Kings and Castles were painted green). From 1945 un-named locomotives had 9" letters GWR with centres 3'6" apart but no Coat of Arms or similar device.
It is always a pleasure filming at Bodmin & Wenford.
Super isn't she???? Nice work and not many of these left as one might think! Thanks!
Nice engine.
The 4612 I know has GWR on the sidetanks, not Great Western. Can anyone tell us when the change took place?
