What’s in a tin of paint? Apparently a fair bit of controversy! Today we jump back in time to the days before southern railway and the ‘big 4’ were formed to look at how locomotive liveries developed into some of the schemes we see today and some odd combinations including vibrant colours and wallpaper (yes really!). Thank you to our friends at the Bluebell Railway and Didcot Railway Centre for lending us their wonderful locations for filming!
