List of Talyllyn Railway Rolling Stock - Liveries

Liveries

The standard livery for locomotives on the Talyllyn is bronze deep green, lined in black and yellow, although since the 1980s there has been a policy of varying some of the liveries for a period of time. It is usual to have one steam engine painted in the guise of one of its fictional counterparts from the Skarloey Railway and wearing a face on the smokebox. This is usually No. 3 or No. 4, as the red livery closely resembles the colour carried by these locomotives on the Corris Railway.

The liveries carried by the steam locomotives as of 2012 are as follows:-

• No. 1: Black with red and white lining in LNWR style.
• No. 2: Lined LMS crimson livery.
• No. 3: In Corris Red.
• No. 4: In standard Talyllyn green with standard lining.
• No. 6: Currently due to return to service from major overhaul during winter 2012/13. Currently planned to return to service in gloss red with black and cream lining.
• No. 7: In standard Talyllyn green with non standard lining.

The vintage rolling stock and the carriages built for the line after preservation are cherry red, lined with deep bronze green. Additionally, the railway has preserved rolling stock from other railways. These retain their original liveries.

The Corris coach (Talyllyn No. 17) and brake van (Talyllyn No. 6) are brown lined with gold leaf and the two Glyn Valley Tramway coaches (Talyllyn Nos. 14 and 15) are green lined with white.
