    What a week for Reading. If we include last Saturday, that's steam mainline trains on 19th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 26th. The station staff will think someone has turned back the clock to 1963!!

    It's not just station staff that seem to be turning back the clock, but FGW senior management too.

    Yes, now I believe it is to be called Great Western Railway. It will be amazing if the colour is Brunswick Green in honour of the famous Castles and Kings. Now that would be something special.

    I once saw a OO-gauge model HST with most of the power cars painted in green and the remainder in chocolate and cream' lined out in traditional GWR style. It looked far more attractive than any livery in which the full-scale HSTs have ever been painted. I also prefer the green power car to this fictitious livery:- http://www.fictitiousliveries.co.uk/photo.php?43227_gwb.jpg but that one is still an improvement on the current FGW colour scheme.

    (Sorry, thread drift!)

    Great Western locos were painted Middle Chrome Green, which BR used until 1957 when they started using a slightly darker shade called Deep Bronze green.

    Where did Brunswick Green come from then. I could have sworn the this was the livery for the GWR passenger locomotives?

    IIRC, "Brunswick Green" was the name of the nearest shade of Humbrol Enamel paint, and so generations of schoolboy modellers used the term, never knowing the correct names. A few of them never grew up, but became "journalists", writing for railway and model-making magazines, disseminating and confirming the "incorrect" shade name to the rest of us. Or something like that... ;-)

    It's also the shade that Airfix recommended for their Le Mans Bentley model.

    (Good grief! What is it about this forum? Now I'm contributing to the thread drift with irrelevant - and probably duff - information about paint!)

    That is also my understanding. I believe a number of preserved locos have been painted Brunswick Green including Manston. There is a picture of Manston and Tangmere tender to tender at Corfe in 2009 and the difference was noticeable. Manston has since been repainted.
