In trying to colourise a photo that pre-dates 1927 several factors need to be borne in mind.

In that era colours where invariably mixed by "eye" from pigments of far inferior purity than available today leading to subtle variations even when brand new.
With dirt and atmospheric pollution the original colour often rapidly darkened resulting in a locomotive that had been in service two or three years being a very different colour to one that was ex-works.
One has only to look at engines on heritage railways to see the colour variation that occurs with time despite far more precise chromatography available to paint makers today.

In very simple terms "don't stress it".

Just to confuse issues further there are several shade of black.

They look quite dangerous to me. Send them here immediately for safe disposal.

For some years I've used Roger and Noel several times satisfactorily for simple stuff. They have little control of the iron spec and are not really geared up to deal with cored work. I go to Wolverhampton or Dudley for anything a little involved..

Check out Louis Rossmann on Youtube for the trails and tribulations of fixing Apple products.

Have I missed a trick? I'm sure there is a reason but just can't help wonder why anyone would want to run a rotary converter in this day and age.

Even 3D printed might work OK.

Were you to tell us where it may have been left could be "far too much information"

I know how I would respond when his bill arrives and my bank balance wouldn't alter. If he argues SYIC.

*1 for Meguiars Mirror Glaze 8 mould release. Great stuff!

Since Speedy is very closely based on the BR built (but GWR designed) 15XX pannier tanks you shouldn't have any trouble in sourcing the correct colour.

I'm sure the likes of Makita or DeWalt could also sort them out too.

Actually Dave the plus illustrated is to BS1363. A plug with sleeved live and neutral pins is BS1363A

T Wash is the stuff to use. Used extensively as body preparation by many heritage railways.

I can recommend a good divorce lawyer.

Nice project but isn't a Raspberry Pi somewhat overkill? An Arduino Nano would eat the dividing task

Dons tin hate etc.

Blow harder. . . . . . .with about 40+ psi.

Nah! This is a tooth.

Could you be confusing it with the Kennedy Hexacut? Or did they also do another design?

Maybe **LINK**
