Redser is painted in Great Northern Railway (Ireland) Pale Blue.

Filming model

Trivia
Unusually for an English locomotive, Redser has several relations to Ireland, explaining the following:


 * His Irish accent.
 * Singing Irish folk songs when doing his work.
 * His livery (inauthentic for him).

Redser's name is derived from the nickname of the character Mr Nicholas Brown from the BBC comedy "Mr's Brown's Boys". Throughout the show, Mr Nicholas Brown is commonly refered to by is nickname of "Redser".


 * Since Mr's Brown's Boys is set in the suburb of Finglas, Dublin (the capital city of Ireland), this adds more this English tank engine's odd Irish behaviour.
