GNR GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY Freight locomotives from 1912 and all locomotives from 1914 (grey livery), both until 1918. Tender Lettering (3mm x 36.5mm) and Loco Numbering and lettering (including shading 3mm high) plus Bufferbeams 1.7mm high. More info - Gold lettering was used with the two-tone green livery lined white-black-white for all locomotives, passenger, freight and shunting, from the early 1880s until 1912. In that year grey livery with white lining and white lettering shaded in black was introduced as an economy measure for goods and shunting locomotives and this was extended to all locomotives at the outbreak of war in 1914. Then from 1918 until the Grouping in 1923 the lined green livery was reintroduced but at a slow rate so a number of grey engines were still unrepainted at the time the LNER took them over.
