Hi John,

I agree with you on roof colours up to a point. Surely after the initial period of weathering from ageing of the paint finish and accumulation of atmospheric dirt, soot and smoke from locos etc, the colour would reach a point when it would get no dirtier.
Certainly on an average rake of wagons there should be very few, if any, with a clean shiny roof and certainly none with a grey plastic sheen.

Bazza.
