I'll behave myself now, and go back to some of the other unfinished projects.

However I am still convinced that the picture is for Bulleid Malachite. My arguments are the lettering and position of the loco number. Both are Bulleid style.There's no way that green is Bulleid malachite. It's definitely an olive of some sort. If anything, the lettering may have yellowed a bit with age
You get a plus from me for that one. I love to play with those even if are bit unfinished.I'm currently thinking I should maybe try and clear the locomotive backlog a bit, by doing what I've done with the Schools: finish sorting the mesh out, get them running, and leave final UV mapping and detailed skinning for later. It may provide a bit of an incentive to do further work on them, and I could probably churn out a bunch of them to that basic stage pretty quickly. There are at least a dozen sitting around that are close to usable (Gresley A1/A3, Peppercorn A1, Gresley V2, Gresley P2, Black 5, DX Goods, Royal Hudson revamp, a couple of Garratts, etc, etc, etc).
Oh. All Southern passenger and loco lettering are Yellow. Both Maunsell and Bulleid. I am not sure about the exact shade and they may have different shades. Sorry, I was referring to letter font. That tender has Bulleid type of font. That is why I believe it being Malachite. It would very fit to caption "New light green livery." But of course it can be a test mix and match livery.You may be right about the malachite, but I'm still not sure. I have seen plenty of shots of models of the Schools class that have tender lettering in yellow, while still being painted in some shade of Maunsell olive, so some people obviously think there is some basis for that combination. Anyway, it doesn't matter much. Anyone who particularly wants something will be able to grab the PSD and tweak it to suit their liking, or even just change the lettering directly on the DDS.
I've seen models with white lettering too.Oh. All Southern passenger and loco lettering are Yellow. Both Maunsell and Bulleid.
