    Having just looked it up, Pug 19 instead of its just-like-everything else BR black (inauthentic) could be painted an attractive red and be named “Prince” (100% authentic)!

    I suspect that a majority of non-enthusiast visitors quite liked it.

    I'd quite like to see what the Fairburn would look like in Midland livery, also G&SW livery, North Staffs, and why not Highland (early Drummond era for preference).

    I'll get my coat.

    Doesn’t happen to look like this, does it?

    The punters loved it as did the owner (RIP) although I was never sure if that's because the Blue upset the 'enthusiasts' - twas the loco I passed out on to drive, although by then it was Black.

    I suspect the majority of visitors like it because it was a steam loco. It still looks silly.

    Then you have 9 which currently is in Cambrian colours.

    Can the authenticity police give us a confirmation of the authenticity of VOR 9 in Cambrian colours?

    Don’t know about the Cambrian but the 80s and 90s are best forgotten, I attended a photo charter there last year and it’s clear the line is now run by railway enthusiasts

    Well...

    https://rail.pictures/picture/19055

    9/1213 was built in 1924...

    It wasn’t named until 1956

    Obviously it is a bit easier if you believe it to be a rebuild of No.2

    Most of the BR standard 2-6-4Ts were built in Brighton - so LBSC livery would be more appropriate for one of them.

    So 80002 could carry Midland Crimson? I suppose it would match 41241!

    VOR 9 has been running as GWR 1213 since November 2016.

    I think this is getting a bit silly now. The BR Standards were built 30 years after the LBSCR ceased to exist so how can it be appropriate?

    I seem to recall one April Fools joke this year where the owning group of a 4MT tank had supposedly repainted their engine in an odd rendition of BR maroon. Sadly I didn't remember which 4MT tank had received the Photoshop treatment, nor did I save the link to the pictures, because it would have been fun to bring up in this thread now!
