Well, I've had a email from kes and I can quote...

"Colour is completely up to you - Dads' locos have had changes in liveries over the years so you'd just be keeping up with traditions."

It needs a repaint badly as all the paint is flaky but there is slightly more chance I may be buying it now....

This was the loco in peter jones book- "building small scale live steam locomotives (or something along those lines!)" wasn't it. I have the book and it looks like a nice model, a different take on the ruby. :D

exactly and it now really needs a repaint. I wouldn't change the name if that settles a few people's minds...

If I bought it I would want to preserve it, but if Zach was to buy it, then he has the right to do whatever he like with it.

OK, several of you will be re-leaved to know that llechfan railway wanted Dempsey more so they got her. But that means that I have some savings burning in my pocket for the second hand stall for yet another modification project.....
And this time the loco might need it's roof repainting....
