A possible livery for the S class in 1936/7
Bill.
G'day Bill
One of our railway historian's has done a lot of work on trying to work out what colour the S Class with the deflectors really was.
However most people say you cannot "see" red in a black and white photo.
It should be noted that no color pictures, paintings or drawings show the S Class as being red.
Apart from one man, everybody else believes the S Class was in fact black. It is a wonder that the passenger work horse of the day, being the A Class was not also supposed to be painted red?
I much prefer them black too, regardless of what the truth of the matter really is.

PS your repaint is very pretty, but still I really like the black one

It's known that the S's were painted red from VR records. Newsrail lists the S's as having been painted 'ferric red' in 1934. MFE was 35/36 and streamlined in 37/38 (301 and 302 in 37 were painted in red). 303 and possibly 300 ran with red streamlined tenders prior to streamlining.
It's not a case of 'if' they were painted red (VR records show they were) but what parts were painted red. And this is where the issue with B&W photos comes in.
As shown above, they did run for a few years in black. Namely from construction through to 34 (approx 6 years). After this, they were painted into a 'ferric red' livery to match the Melbourne/Albury express cars. This was carried over when first streamlined to maintain the look of a train with matching colours.

What I would really like to know is whether the deflectors were painted red; I suspect they would have been. At a recent meeting at Wandong there were three S class with MFE, two in red and one all black, all had black deflectors (if my ailing memory serves me right).
A great spot, Wandong, right next to the mainline to Sydney. All the loco drivers give a couple of toots as they drive by!

Who wrote the articles in Newsrail
Is their a copy of the VR records to see?
I am unconvinced
:hehe: You got to remember I fired for 4 years with George Lynch who fired on the steam SOP. He was son of the legend of the North East George Lynch Senior.
Both men were photographers, and Young George used to talk about the job because he knew I was interested. He talked about the S coming to Wodonga in Red, but as I remember it, it was the streamliner.
Anyway if Bill remembers it at Wallan, I bow to his memories
Cheers
Rod
The lighting is in 06', as 09' is not to my liking, and the pics are taken at around 6:15 in the morning. That's what the mornings look like here in Newcastle at 6:15 in real life so thats why I've made them look "sterile" in the game.
Oh and Scott, send those pics on over. They will be a help. Thankyou
Daniel

thanks daniel now i know,
@s301 actually that is probably morerealistic than the other smoke which I only ever remember seeing on frosty winter mornings most times passenger locos when travelling at speed did not emit great clouds of exhaust smoke. At least the NSW locos didnt
cheers
