| has gloss | eng: Photographic Grey, also known as Works Grey was a paint scheme commonly applied to steam locomotives during the period before colour photography became commonplace. It was applied to allow sharper, more detailed images of the locomotive to be recorded. The first photographs of railways and their locomotives were made by private individuals, but by the 1860s the railway companies themselves were keen to create official photographs of their latest designs in as higher quality aS possible, which led to the adoption of photographic grey in railway photography. |
