Why does Twizel's cab interior appear to be made of wood? Is it wallpaper, of something similar?
Scumbling or wood graining is in use in most of our loco cabs. It was a common Victorian loco / shipyard technique in which metal is painted with cream paint then brown paint through which, when wet, a metal comb is drawn to create the effect. It was also commonly used in houses to disguise cheap softwood as expensive hardwood.
Thanks. It's the first time I've seen scumbling with notted wood effect
