I see I misunderstood your point, all the VF plates I have from Austerities (either 2-8-0 or 0-6-0) have been polished at some time, and as some are definitely ex loco I assumed that they were so done at fitting. Now if they may have been painted overall on release and not polished - that I do not know.

Hi Malcom,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I realise that they were casting dippled plates
before the later batch of plates, but was just wondering about the backgrounds
being painted. I expect that in early days they would have been painted before
being fitted to locos, but I doubt if they would have bothered to paint them
during WW2 when fitting them to Austerities. I expect they came from the
foundry cleaned up, and fitted on the locos unpainted. I just thought someone
may know for sure.
Most plates with a pattern background were polished, and not painted i.e.
Hunslet etc.
A good colour photo of an ex works Vulcan Austerity 2-8-0 or 0-6-0 would be
nice, but I doubt if one exists.
Cheers.
Andy
