LMS Red.
It doesnt really mean a thing to say that the four LMS pacifics were all different - they would be, they (I presume) have not been painted in the same paintshop, with actual LMS Crimson Lake. The problem with the Hornby colour is that it is a matt finish. If you are brave and give it a coat of semi-gloss varnish - hey presto!
I did it with my Red Streamliner, but you should not have to do this at the price the locos sell at.
Cheers.
