DBfan Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Don`t forget LNER Doncaster green and LNER Darlington green. Both subtly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfox4475 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 The A1 and A3 built by LNER were mostly built at Doncaster, some were built by North British works Glasgow and some Darlington. Doncaster tended to use a lighter Apple Green than Darlington which used a slightly darker Apple Green. In the days after 1948 BR used a Dark Brunswick Green.
