B101

Just came across this, thought I’d share it out of interest.

Don’t take the shade of green seriously - the original colour slide is in awful condition!

At Waterford obviously, about 1962.

Like the A & C classes, some had a pale green “waistline”; some didn’t. None had “flying snails”.

Black on top of roof.

I thought for a moment it was a model!

Can see what you mean, Mick. Those front windows are deeply inset and the glazing isn't exactly flush. No tension lock or Kadee though, even if the track looks decidedly Peck Code 75.

In the green livery, only some of the B101's had the cowling in the bufferbeam area painted red, with the ends apparently outlined in black. Here's a view of B107 from Ernie:

Others had the front cowling painted the same colour as the body, like B102 here:

The 'bufferbeam' colour doesn't correlate with the presence or absence of a waist line. Again from Ernie, here's B104 with red cowling outlined in black, but with the waist line:

For the initial livery, the whole front was silver. This slide sold on ebay recently, for rather more than I was willing to pay!
