Blood and Custard comes from the
slang for BRs Crimson and Cream livery of the 1950s and
whilst this website is not specifically dedicated to that livery, a short overview
is provided here.
These links are to websites
that are associated with interest in railways or the modelling thereof.
Whilst
Blood and Custard is not specifically endorsing any of the organisations
thereon a pre-requisite
for the placement of trade links is having had satisfactory personal contact
and /or purchase(s).
