The colour is crimson lake. We had it matched to a colour sample from the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railways loco Winston Churchill used to be before it’s current livery.
The larger coal we get from a coal wholesale called Blackwells in Earls Colne, Essex. Got to be smoky coal, smokeless in a steam loco just isn’t right! 😏
Beautiful loco! What's her turning radius like?
Sorry for late reply, only just seen your question. It’s a minimum 10ft radius.
What is the name of the red paint what an awesome colour

So how do you get the smoke from the Welsh steam coal?
Thanks. Beans or grains?
They are beans. Maxitrak in Staplehurst, Kent can get it. Sometime we get larger pieces and break it up.
Good to hear. I agree has to be some smoke! :) so you use Welsh coal for the smoke then large or small versions?
The smaller coal is usually smokeless, the larger is the smokey coal. A mix of both if we are low but if not just the smokey coal.
Maxitrack coals good.. Think that's what I've got. Where do you get your bigger coal you break up from?

Great stuff. What type of coal is the larger coal?
Larger coal is Welsh Steam coal too.
Did you buy the tender from maxitrak or did you make it yourself
Maxitrak made the tender, it’s the eight wheel version.
Lovely loco. What coal do you use?
Thank you. We use Welsh Steam coal.
