Staffordshire Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Wonder if anyone could help ... Would like to know the livery of the Brush shunter (similar to D2999) that worked on test evaluation in Gloucester docks ? Any photos of the loco concerned would be welcomed. Am hoping to model this loco, from a Judith Edge kit. Cheers, Ian Edited October 5, 2022 by Staffordshire Re-attached photo 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted March 9, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2022 I only have one photo of this loco, it's in Colin Marsden's diesel shunter book. Brush history isn't very clear on exactly which loco this was but it looks like the most common version - not the cut down cab oe the off centre rear headlight as seen in the Parkgate fleet.

RMweb Premium John Isherwood Posted March 10, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2022 My recollection of the one colour photo that I've seen is of a somewhat faded tangerine - no doubt due to general wear and tear. CJI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I can remember a trainspotting trip that included 30A (1961 or 1962?). Inside a shed we found D2999 in green late crest livery. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) With one eye on the export market, Brush might have used a colour like this : - .... yes, faded tangerine !

CJI. This MAY be the loco in question; I have no idea of who holds the copyright, but it was captioned as the Brush works shunter. As to colour, this may give a clue as it appears to show another Brush works shunter - comments welcome. CJI. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted March 10, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2022 That one might be 9998, it's a Brush demonstrator - it certainly matches the details of 9998. The orange colour looks quite likely as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJI. After a period of use on ER freight traffic Falcon was returned to Brush Traction in late 1963 and didn't reappear until January 1965, repainted into BR Gsyp livery. Therefore Falcon spent the whole of 1964 at Brush and this photo, taken I believe in July that year and apparently unique, would indicate that yellow warning panels were added to its lime green livery when it arrived (judging from its condition here) but it was never destined to display this combination in traffic. With apologies to those actually running their Heljan model in this livery, although it does look rather good doesn't it?! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I have a dim recollection, not to be trusted without corroboration, that Brush “house colours” were orange and very dark chocolate brown. If that is correct the “black” might be dark brown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
