Hi Railroading_Brit and friends, Thank you for the response. I have another question for you. I took this off a website and wondered if you would tell me what some of it means. I have a guess as to what some of it is, but would like to be sure. What is refered to as Lining? Is it the light colored line running beneath the windows? Where does the "Black" come in with regards to Lining - is it the roof? Also, what is meant by two SKs and Two BSKs - is it the livery you mentioned above? Thanks again! Don "Preparation of locomotive and stock was relatively straightforward. Color selection was made on the basis that the chosen shade of red showed up with the least variation under all lighting conditions. Lining was British Railways style orange and black, with a large sign on the tender, again in the late 1950s British Railways style, proclaiming “Hogwarts Railways” and featuring the school crest. Len Clark, who had also repainted “Taw Valley” into red, painted the locomotive. Ian Castledine produced the superb WR-style “Hogwarts Express” headboard, completed with hand-painted low-relief crest. Rolling stock was comprised of two SKs and two BSKs, repainted into the standard West Coast maroon with yellow and black lining, although with circular Hogwarts Railways crests on the vehicle sides.
