toffee Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I was wondering if anyone has the details of the liveries worn by the 2 04s whilst working at the DVR ? Started off as Gray ? Went green ? Are there any more details out there or can someone point me in the right direction please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGH Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) I was wondering if anyone has the details of the liveries worn by the 2 04s whilst working at the DVR ? Started off as Gray ? Went green ? Are there any more details out there or can someone point me in the right direction please. Is this any help ? Photo deleted - wrong green apparently !

toffee Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Ta for that, I've seen it before but it helps. I believe it was N ER green, any confirmation ? Not what they started off in though I think, that's the one I'm trying to pin down. Now those PGA s ? Behind, I would love lots of photos about those ! Small batch I believe just for the DVR to use, a model of those would be something ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Young Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Lovely photo that PGH. For the earlier grey livery, a quick google search finds this thread, see first post: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/70331-derwent-valley-light-railway-centenary-event-2021-july/ There are also photos in the rather nice book on the DVLR I have at home.

I've always wondered why a lot of the BP Chemicals Salt hopper PGA http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/bpchemicalpga were in Fosse Islands/Layerthorpe. Were they used there? I've not seen photos of them working in York and do keep a lookout for photos of anything working around York. I don't think they are mentioned in the recent book about the DVLR - although I've not got the club copy to hand. Perhaps you are confusing them with the small batch of Covhops PAA http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/procorcovhop/e1c4d1929 http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/procorcovhop/e4ec2f7b Paul Edited December 20, 2017 by hmrspaul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dava Posted December 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2017 The Holne Publishing book [recommended] from 2014 gives the 04 livery details as 'Minerva grey with black & red panels [bonnet top] plus yellow & black wasp stripes. DVR 2 was sold and DVR 1 repainted into the 'NER' lined green livery as above. Dava 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffee Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Looking at my 'modern po wagons on BR ' I see what I'm in about is indeed PAAs 14152-14156 used for grain traffic with top covers. I've seen a photo somewhere probably taken by someone climbing up one of them in the yard at York taking a photo of the J72 worked passenger train in which the PAAs are seen in the corner. Never seen a decent photo of them at say Dunnington being shunted by 'Churchill ' . Would be nice to see. Ta to Dava for livery details, :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toffee Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Nice picture, but I'm on about the PAAs, these are the whisky 'Blues' BRTs I believe, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
