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.

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.
