Popular Post kevpeo Posted May 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2016 I finally got them! Two 'Large Logo' 37's on passenger in 2016! Who would have thought it.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 6, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2016 Intriguing. 6886 is presumably green because there is evidence of a worn out or removed late crest, But it's got a TOPS panel so surely blue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) But it's got a TOPS panel so surely blue? There were a few 'six-eighters' which acquired a TOPS renumbering whilst still in green; some had the new number applied on a blue patch. The small blue panels with all the brake-force info etc were applied locally, regardless of the loco colour.

It's working a train to Dowlais; the first wagon is one of the wagons used to convey ingot moulds from Ivor Foundry. I think it's an ARM EL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Intriguing. 6886 is presumably green because there is evidence of a worn out or removed late crest, but what about 6982? Serif font and BR arrows so presumably BR blue? D6886 is blue, repainted in 1970. D6982 is green, tell tale is lighter roof colour and peeling lighter colour undercoat on the bodyside, plus it was repainted blue in 1972 so would not have been that poor a condition so quickly.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted June 6, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) D6886 is blue, repainted in 1970. Not doubting the paint date, but if 6886 is blue it's strange that the shadow of a late crest should be so clearly visible on the bodyside after only two years. And a 1970 repaint should have included BR double arrows but it doesn't have them on this side at least. Edited June 6, 2016 by brushman47544 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted June 7, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 7, 2016 6886: Are we sure about the paint date into BR Blue. This colour photo is dated 1973 and 6886 looks to be green https://www.flickr.com/photos/briantrailandmore/8669192684/in/pool-2168551@N22/ and also in this one dated 1974 6886 looks to be a different colour to the blue 37 behind https://www.flickr.com/photos/95430950@N07/16134529970/in/photolist-qzKFDd-ed4SXo-C2YJ2V Not definitive perhaps but food for thought.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 7, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2016 I'm fairly sure that we didn't have any D68XX in blue at Radyr in 1973 - all were in badly faded and very mucky green although I am trying to remember back rather a lot of years of course. The data panels - whatever colour they were, dated from 1968 and were thus applied to relatively new locos in the case of the South Wales D68XX which had only started arriving new in 1963. C83 was, again scratching at the memory cells one of the Rhymney Vally trips and I'm reasonably sure it was Cwmbargoed although it might have been the trip which serviced the NCB workshops at Tredomen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the vans seem to be the variety modelled by Ratio, rather than the type Hornby-Dublo/Wrenn/ made/make. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
