They use similar stock to that in use on the Central. When delivered it was
in NSE livery, as was the previous 1941 stock IIRC.


I rather think the previous stock (1940 stock to be precise) was
delivered in Southern Railway Malachite Green. It would only have
been painted into NSE livery at the very end of its life. ( know
that's what you meant, but it isn't what you said).

Incidentally, the original W&C stock was painted salmon pink!
