RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted September 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) When did the D3 go out of service? How long had it been on the scrap line? Here's a lady still alive and kicking in her old clothes in 1952. Did she get a repaint before passing on?

Adam Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 In one of my books - I’d check but I’m away from home at the mo’ - is a nice colour picture of 9635 with smoke box plate and ‘GWR’ on the tanks, dated to ‘62. There’s a shot on Flickr showing it immediately post-repaint at Swindon a year later with the ‘G’ clearly visible under the new paint. Needless to say, my Bachmann pannier is down for a repaint...
