Modellers should note, that the true colour of latter day BR livery is revealed in this study of one of John Robinson's surviving ex-Great Central Railway 'O4/1s' heading south past York MPD in March 1965. In fact (at 54 years old), 63586 was the longest-lived 'O4' when withdrawn. It was built at Gorton in Oct. 1911 as GCR No. 332 and would be withdrawn in Oct. 1965.
