Notes
Paint colour
The colour scheme was inspired by a British Railways 109 I saw on the London To Brighton run, it's known in trainspotting circles as “Blood and Custard”:
It looks like the paint codes are:
- Blood: RAL3005 - Paintman link
- Railway websites suggest BS381c No. 540
- Custard: RAL20187 - British Leyland (BLMC) Limestone LRC007 - Paintman link
- “The Cream had a British Railways paint code but does not appear to have had a British Standard colour reference.”
