one of the most obvious features of the l&amp;b was its rail vehicles, with the engines appearing first in a plain lined holly green colour, later on a black base, with chestnut under-frames, pulling passenger carriages coloured terra-cotta with cream upper panels, and light grey goods wagons. the painting was simplified as each vehicle was repainted. with the take-over by the southern railway and arrival of lew, the paint scheme was slowly changed to a lighter green with yellow lettering for the engines and passenger carriages, and brown for the goods wagons. the engine headlamps which had been black were re-painted red.
