Steam Fair followers may well have seen the ‘real thing’ around the country as the Graham Vincent Showmans Locomotive ‘Ephraim’ is often on show at rallies, merrily steaming away! Oxford’s 8 nhp DCC locomotive, No. 2351 ‘Ephraim’, registered AL 9309, is decorated in a red brown colour scheme with white roof, orange brown roof underside and black masking. As usual with the 100 plus masking and printing operations on Oxford’s Showman vehicles, there is a wide use of gold, red, silver and black. Additional decoration sees the outer wheel tyres given a realistic dark grey finish.
