GSR Class M1

[Sheldrake9er]

Hi all. I've just bought a Dapol 7mm sentinel loco, and intend that it should be a GSR Class M1.

Should it be painted in the standard GSR grey, or black.

Thanks in advance.

Probably grey. But faded, weathered black will be good enough to cover both!

Thanks, Galteemore.

Dark grey. Nothing was black in GSR or early CIE times.
