Text: Before about 1964 Railway Breakdown Vehicles such as 110J; 111J; 416M; 418J; 832J etc carried a Red and Cream Livery. Could anyone tell me exactly what shade of red was used, and if there are any paint codes for this? The Cream is assumed to be Chiswick Cream.

One of the ex-STL breakdown tenders is preserved by LT at Acton in red and cream livery. IIRC, the red is Ayres Red ie., bus red rather than underground red.

830J is at the LTM and is all red not red & cream. Other preserved 'J's' are 738J and 739J also all red and I think 832J is currently in red & cream. Photos of all are probably on this website somewhere.

Damon - You are absolutely correct - I was sure I had seen a red and cream 'J' at Acton. Obviously hallucinating. Arun
