    That green side is the south side and gets sun, rain (prevailing weather from South West), etc. so deteriorates quicker.
    Or, perhaps, we didn't have any 'Blood & Custard' striped paint in stock!
    We may never know.;)

    No I do not currently volunteer
    7 days left to paint the kitchen carriage north side green to match the south side, dry, and then move to platform 1 ready to cook curries for the diesel gala.
    Middle of the week the locos and 4 VEP unit will arrive. RTT Timings in the gala thread, so there will be some blue rolling stock in the station.

    I did (mischievously) think you could paint a whole rake like that as a photo charter set. One colour in the morning, other side in the afternoon when the sun moves.
