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.

Great Western Railway Signal Red as used for the buffer beams and between the frames on all Locomotives for the period between 1945 and 1948.

British Railways Signal Red. Used for signal arms, brakedown trains, buffer beams and between the frames.
 

This is the later light red used after the Second World War for ALL GWR locomotives.

This particular colour, in conjunction with P100 GWR/BR Locomotive Green and P104 Lining Orange, is the correct colour for All post war GWR and ALL BR green locomotives.

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.
