colour of cab is a conundrum for brighton ‘atlantic’ grouP

What colour did BR paint the inside of the cab roofs on LBSCR 4‑4‑2s? To make its replica of No. 32424 Beachy Head as authentic as possible, the Bluebell Railway’s Brighton Atlantic group needs to answer that question – but despite enlisting the help of the line’s Preservation Standards Committee, has so far drawn a blank. If any reader can help, please contact the Steam Railway office. The former GNR ‘Atlantic’ boiler for the Marsh locomotive has had its safety valves fitted, and all the small tubes and superheater flues are in place, while the repaired firebox throatplate has been riveted to the foundation ring, and the regulator rod and gland installed. A hydraulic test is anticipated later in the year, and a volunteer has rebuilt a Detroit four‑feed sight feed lubricator for the cab.
