DonnyRailMan Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 LNER Phoenix 3136 Peppercorn A1 in WW I I Black.I know A1 Peppercorn LNER locomotives where not around in WW I I but having seen Flying Scotsman in WW II a few year ago thought i would like to see how a Peppercorn A1 could look. So with Poetic Licenes i decided to create my own version of one with help from Edward Woodward from Aspire Models. . I know some on here will not like what i have done due to the fact that it is not from that period of time./media/tinymce_upload/f235137658a085f6568a894f9a202629.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Fictitious liveries if applied well can make an attractive variation. Of course preseved locomotves have really carried fictitious liveries, perhaps the best loved was Apple Green and the number 4472 on Flying Scotsman while it had a double chimney and German smoke deflectors as fitted by BR. One of the rebuilt Merchant Navy Pacifics ran in BR early blue livery for a time. The wierdest is the maroon livery applied to Oulton Hall, but the Fairburn 2-6-4Ts in Caledonian Blue and Furness Red on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway back in the 1970s were fairly bizarre, but looked OK.

Chrissaf Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I have a Class 20 resprayed into EWS livery. AFAIK EWS never ran a Class 20, thus it is fictitious. I just happen to like the EWS colour scheme. Its your layout, run whatever you like on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'll stick my neck out here.... 😉 Should the tender lettering be N E instead of L N E R ? A wartime abbreviation to save paint/ transfers..... Other than that minor observation, no problem with liveries.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wartime abbreviation to save paint/ transfers..... Other than that minor observation, no problem with liveries................................................................................. To be honest i am not sure . I have been told 1940-42 LNER was still on the tenders then they put just N R. But i wanted it this way with the great font of L N E R along the tender like i have said i know Peppercorn A1s where not around in WW I I. ./media/tinymce_upload/a938e4ed86705cf227254dff90c15582.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I believe they started with the full LNER but as time went on they started shortening to NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 The Wartime black with shaded lettering when clean could look extremely smart, Sadly it was rarely clean! I particularly like the gold shaded green 'sunshine' lettering used by the Southern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
