When we first saw 2807 at Barry Scrapyard it was in that well-known livery of rust with rust highlights!
I attach a photo of 2807 taken by its fireman at Toddington (L C Jacks) but that was a long time ago (1953) - a prophetic photo?!

Thanks for the photo Ted.
2807 is at Llangollen at present. Here are a couple of photos I took last Saturday.
Best wishes,
