Paint for Henry

[JLK2707]

What colours are used to make the paint colour of the Bachmann Henry?

[thomasj219]

It is a special blend not available to the public I believe. The Bach-man has told us before.

[JLK2707]

What colour did they say it was?

[RW James]

You probably won't want to get this - but here it is:
Railmatch LNER Darlington Apple Green (2621)

Thank you to RW James for showing me the accurate colour needed for the paint job!

A quick caveat - I'm not saying that this is the color Bachmann uses (which you would need for touch ups). But this would be the proper color if you wanted to paint Henry the color he should be. He was a LNER engine before he came to Sodor.

[thomasj219]

Yes it's not the actual color Bachmann uses.

What number was Henry before he came to Sodor?

[ThomasFan247]

From my knowledge, it is unknown, but all I know is his original shape was a mix between an A1 Pacific and a C1 Atlantic.

What kind of locomotive was Gordon based on before he came to Sodor?

[gwr duck]

A1-A3 PACIFIC LIKE FLYING SCOTSMAN

[ThomasFan247]

Actually, Gordon was the test loco for Gresley's pacifics, his class being A0.

[gwr duck]

so gordon is like scotsmans grandad then lol 

[ThomasFan247]

He's basically the eldest brother of all the pacifics

What colour red do I need to paint the buffer beams of Henry and Gordon? What colour red does Bachmann use for this?
