Great Northern Railway Ivatt and Gresley Green and
London & North Eastern Railway Standard Locomotive Green (Doncaster Shade). This is the official shade as authorised by H.N. (Nigel) Gresley (later Sir) in 1923.

Also used as LNER Coach Green [Tourist Stock]

Officially this colour was always refered to as Locomotive Green or by its 'official' nickname of Grass Green.

LNER Green locomotives were lined with a white/black/white configuration.

The L.N.E.R. Tourist Stock coaches were built with plywood sides over a wooden frame.
Because of the limitations of plywood, the decision was taken to paint such stock and a green and cream livery was choosen.
The green was below the waist panels with the cream (P64) above the waist. Standard lettering was applied.

British Railways Corporate Blue. (Rail Blue).

This is the colour used for all locomotives, multiple units and non passenger carrying stock between 1966 and 1985 when replaced by P152.

Also used in conjunction with the Corporate Grey (Rail Grey P133) to form the Blue / Grey Intercity livery.

For Yellow warning Panels use P134 Signal Yellow and P135 Signal Red for buffer beams etc.

All of our British Railways colours were matched to colour panels supplied to us by the Technical Services Department at Derby when we were suppliers to British Rail in the late 1970's and early 1980's

Grey 2 Part Etch Primer

Suitable for non ferrous AND ferrous metals. Extremely easy to use. Mix equal quantities together and you have an etch primer that works every time on properly cleaned, using PQ17, metals. (Note that the etching action is ineffective on stainless steel,because it is acid resistant, or zinc coated steel (galvanised) unless it has been allowed to age out-doors for about 24 months.) 

Supplied as either a 60ml, 125ml or 250ml pack.

Contains either 30ml and 30ml, 

125ml and 125ml or

250ml and 250ml of Black Primer and PQ32 Activated Thinners

Instructions 

DO NOT Abrade the surface to be etched.

DO NOT polish or ‘buff up’ the surface to be etched.

Etched Primers work FAR better on dull tarnished surfaces than they do on bright shiney, polished or ‘roughed’ up surfaces.

Degrease the surface to be etch primed with the strongest solvent available.

We would recommend PQ17 Pre Paint Cleaner.

Degrease a minimum of 3 times to ensure a chemically clean surface.

DO NOT use washing up liquid as it contains a chemical coating to ensure that crockery etc. ‘sparkles’.

Whilst this coating is harmless for most puposes it reacts with paint and primers causing problems for the unwary modeller.

After degreasing do not touch the surfaces to be primed.

Mix equal quantities of the Activated Thinners with the primer

Spraying pot life is appoximately 3 hours.

Etch primer cannot be sprayed satisfactorily through either an external mix airbrush or a very fine internal mix airbrush.

We would recommend the Badger 200 single action airbrush for all etch primers.

To Brush - Mix and allow to stand for 2 - 3 hours in an open container to thicken up.

Apply one Very Thin coat to the substrate to be primed. It should be just possible to see the substrate through the primer.

Clean Equipment with PQ17 Pre Paint Cleaner.

The primer will only start to etch AFTER IT IS DRY.

Allow a minimum of 24 - 36 hours at a minimum of 18 - 20ºc before applying topcoats.

Great Western Railway Standard Locomotive Green as used for Locomotives for the period between 1945 and 1948.

British Railways Locomotive Green. The Standard Green used for steam locomotives from 1948 until replaced by the later colour green (P101) in 1954.

In actual fact it is not the paint that changes colour but the way the overcoating varnish ages and yellows that changes the shade.

This shade of the GWR locomotive green is probably the most accurate. This is due to the fact that wartime paint technology had reached the commercial world and Gloss paint was available for the first time. This negated the use of varnish and hence the ageing and yellowing that would have occured had the varnish been applied.
This particular colour, in conjunction with P104 Lining Orange and P135 Signal Red, is the correct green for All post war GWR green locomotives.

Used in conjunction with P104 Lining Orange and P135 Signal Red for buffer beams and between the frames.

All of our British Railways colours were matched to colour panels supplied to us by the Technical Services Department at Derby when we were suppliers to British Rail in the late 1970's and early 1980's.

All of our GWR colours were matched to a privately preserved set of paint panels from Swindon Works. These not only had the colours, but the dates used and the names for each colour. Our understanding is that the panels had been signed by the CME for the period.
