In my experience there is no reason to change a smithies boiler to another type because of the possible paint damage. See here my ASTER Schools in 1976 when new (old picture):

and here after more than 40 years in 2019 after many, many runs during that whole period:

And here is my PLM, also after many runs:

But I have used the correct ASTER insulation sheet 😉

Fred,
Not to be too pedantic, but.....

David,

Looking around one sees in gauge 1 many Accucraft MK 1 British Railways coaches in any color running with all kinds of locomotives in any color and from all kinds of British companies. I think it is not pedantic to mention to Sébastian that some of these combinations are right and others are wrong. Of course I myself also ran wrong combinations like a Milwaukee Road Hiawatha Atlantic with Southern Pacific Daylight coaches of a well-known brand.
Regards
Fred
