Great Western Railway Lining Orange as used for Locomotive Lining for the period between 1881 and 1945.
This is the earlier Lighter Orange used before the Second World War for ALL GWR locomotive lining, whether it is the early very intricate double lines or the later simplified single lines.
This particular colour, in conjunction with P5 GWR Locomotive Green, P6 Indian Red and P8 Signal Red, is the correct colour for the Lining of 'City of Truro' with the entwined letters on the tender.
It should be noted that 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. As supplied, a high quality synthetic (oil based) brushing enamel paint.
Stir thoroughly with a spatula (lollipop stick, wooden coffee stirer etc.) for a minimum of 5-10 minutes, or a power stirer. Ensure that you get into the bottom corners of the can and bring any sediment to the surface and stir in.
