Hi Ray, The paint used was manufactured by Williamsons of Ripon I seem to remember under the trademark of Ripcerol. Probably known as Ribble Red or Crimson. The Carlisle painter was a good friend and a great craftsman, he and his labourer mate could prepare and paint a 1500 or 1700 decker inside and out in 4 1/2 days brushed. I had a tin of Williamsons Rossendale Crimson when I repainted my Leyland bodied PD 2/12 RTC 822.
Cheers, Leyland 600
