[modeleng] Re: Oliver Cromwell

Alan,

Not sure of the real reason, it has run with painted nameplates as well as 
real brass ones.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJcky_cHXG4 shows it on a recent run with the 
painted nameplate on the RH smoke deflector in the first part of the clip, 
followed by another section where the black background brass nameplate is 
seen on the same side.

The Wikipedia article states that black was the original colour, later 
changed to red.

Cheers,

1. Port and starboard marking attempt by painter who was ex RN, and ran out
of green?

2. Peter Rich in ME says it was so on 6 may 1954 at noon?

(no idea of the real reason unless one of the above is true)
