Description
Passing all its trials, the new little tram deserved some sprucing up after sitting awaiting a mechanism for many a year so here it is in GER splendour, complete with driver.Strangely, along with the cowcatchers/sideplates the legislation prevented any bright colours, hence the use of blue for the bufferbeams as well as sides...

I am going to have to read my book on the Wisbech and Up well Tramway again as I never knew that about the bright colours...

In particular I referenced: E. Gaddesden, C. Whetmath & J. Stafford-Baker, The Wisbech & Upwell Tramway (Teddington, 1965), p.38. Β This was written with substantial involvement by one Rev. Awdry.

I must look out for that. After going through several of my books it never refers to the livery being that colour so as not to frighten beasts. What would have been nice to see would have been when the bodies were painted red for a time.

True; a question of the right shade though (colourblind)...

I'd never known about the blue bufferbeam. Interesting, I've been thinking about potentially making something like this in OO.
