The WCRC diesel fleet is definitely not painted in the same livery as the coaching stock. I would describe it as a dark claret shade when new at...
I quite liked 6233 when it was turned out in this livery as well as 46115. When Leander was first shown in steam following its most recent...
5601 in LMS black in 1949 http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/lms/lnwrbns_br1974.htm
I thought it was a good move the ELR have actually advertised it as running in black during January.
I am well aware of various 'house' liveried applied by railways but as has already been highlighted it doesn't appear to have been exclusive to...
Can I ask was their a ban on using the lion logo's on in the early days of steam preservation?

You still haven't explained why the non-authentic livery is necessary I'm not saying it is necessary, I'm saying Joe Public is not that bothered...
I've often read & heard said that Joe Public doesn't care what kind of steam loco heads their train as long as it is a steam loco. If that's the...
Maybe look at it from another point of view. In todays MODERN railway environment why would there need to be the provision for anything other...
True certainly a bit more closer to the theme than a 73!
One southern region diesel for another then.

As has been highlighted when they were banned WCRC have too much of a monopoly of steam tours. They have no serious competition so can get away...
