round. The cab controls were similar to those on No.42 except that a steam brake was provided in addition to the hand brake. The regulator handle was of the normal vertical type but later a long horizontal piece was secured to it, enabling it to be operated from either side. During its career on the NCC, No.16 ran a total of 705 696 miles, which was calculated on a basis of average. No.16 was scrapped in September 1951. Livery During BNCR ownership, the colour of the engine is believed to have been a dark laurel green lined out in vermilion/light blue/chrome yellow with the initials "BNCR" painted on the cab side sheets When the Midland Railway took control, the engines were painted "invisible green" (a very dark bronze green that looked almost black) with lining that appears to have been the same as in BNCR days. The initials "MR" replaced the BNCR ones.
