When the Westerns were built there was no corporate livery for BR with different regions painting their rolling stock in a variety of colours. The Western region was known for having an independent streak and this was shown with the introduction of the Westerns. Two Westerns were delivered in unique experimental colours, D1000 in desert sand and D1015 in golden ochre. This need to be different was also evident with the introduction of the maroon livery which was only ever applied to the Westerns and Warships. D1015 was the only member of the class to be painted in Golden Ochre.

About our paper

All our prints are printed using water based inks on sustainably sourced 315gsm Cold Press Watercolour Paper (CPWP). A 100% cotton rag paper with a matte finish and a tight, highly textured surface resemblant of etching paper.

Modelled after a true old world watercolour paper the natural white, OBA free base of this archival quality ‘cold press’ paper lends a traditional feel to our archival inkjet fine art prints.

The rough textured surface is coated with a matte coating, compatible with both pigment and dye inkjet printers providing a stable base for our images and ensuring they last for years.
