Railway Roundabout 1958 'The Rother Valley special'

We now travel along the KESR before it was preserved by the preservation society, on a hot pickers special with two Terriers, one of them the Brighton Works shunter, which unfortunately didn't make it into preservation.
We conclude next clip at Southampton Docks

"Stroudley improved engine green" -- isn't that the colour that's actually a shade of ochre, because Stroudley was colour-blind and nobody had the heart to tell him?

[@jacob2954]

beeble2003 in the Wikipedia it said so

[@neilbain8736]

I honestly thought it was a sort of yellow, like old custard with a thick skin.

[@CookieCookGames]

Yeah it really is more of a yellow, always found the name odd

[@o.m.b.demolitionenterprise5398]

There are many theories, one of which is that it’s a copy of one of his highland railway liveries.

[@FuntimeFoxy-bt6ld]

who saw stepney from thomas the train in that. BTW i never knew the exact name of what engine class we was based off of

[@kendrickcolvin298]

Hornby. Rip. A1

Now I see why Bulgy hates railways. 3:30-3:50.

[@o.m.b.demolitionenterprise5398]

I wouldn’t be surprised actually
