The only reference I could find is in the New Cavendish reprint of the Bing catalogue for the British market for 1912. Seems odd, as Bing made this loco pre and post WW1, but there is a gap in known Bing catalogues from about 1915 to 1925, which is JUST where we would be interested to look! No mention of Great Western Railway livery in this catalogue for this loco, but the Bogie Express on the next page is, stuff like this varies over time, with little discernable explanation after 107 years!
