SENSIBLE-BUS   10 #52 Posted April 4, 2009 Sorry but union was in proper condition and iam sorry I missed it , however , think the shade of blue on Sir Nigel is a very intresting choice is it garter blue or am I thinking of something else  You are indeed thinking of something else Busman, Garter blue was the shade used by the L.N.E.R., not sure what the name was for the shade used by B.R. in the trials but it darker than Garter Blue.
