Developments on the Corris Railway

I don't suppose anyone happens to have the colour/ral code/description for the Corris Red Livery?

A friend is building a model and would like to try and be as close to prototype as possible.

Best regards

LSWR 563 and now CR 10. It's good news week, isn't it?

She looks wonderful. I read somewhere that the build cost was £400,000 - does anyone know if that's correct?

 

It's basically Furness Railway red, we had the paint colour matched to No7 but if you reference the Furness it'll be spot on. BTW this colour looks very red on a digital screen compared to real life where you can see the brown.

 

Yes that is correct but also remember a lot of parts were created by a few of us in our own workshops. Basically from the chassis upwards and also the pony truck.

 

Here's a few pictures of the delivery.

Locomotive No10 has been lined now, done by myself and my wife the past two weeks in the carriage shed at Maespoeth.
