walkingthedog Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I doubt it has a paint code. They are usually moulded in coloured plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Then your right. You could take the loco to a model shop and compare colours. Colours can fade particularly if they are in sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new lad on block Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Hi KIrkm 5238, Which Spencer do you have , Is it the normal run R9257 2008-10 or the Ltd. Ed. Model, R9257 2012.Also Spencer is a Railroad A4 loco. Hornby made a Silver Jubilee Train Pack R3174,that has the same Railroad loco in.It may be easier to to source a Silver Jubilee A4 loco body and swop the bodies,that is of course if you are not intending on selling it.If you reply with which loco you have will check the Spencers I have to see if colour is the same.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I can confirm that R9257 Spencer and R9749 Spencer Limited Edition are painted. Both have sloghtly different sahdes and as for colour codes that's a tall question, which I don't think yoiu will get an answer to. The Hornby Thomas modelsuse colours exclusive to those models, I believe. I have never found a matching paint colour to any of the locomotives. That's why the best thing is to look after the paint, otherwise if scratch and / or chip it. finding paint is very difficult, or impossible. Perhaps finding an near enough colour is your only option. I believe that DIY stores, such as B&Q, have paint scanners, so might scan the paint for you on your Spencer locomotive; But then they probably won't be able to produce the correct type of paint, so that's proably not an option.
