RMweb Gold 46444 Posted August 17, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17, 2016 I've been looking through my copy of BR Steam in Dean and there's a 1964 dated picture of 4564 working bunker first towards Bullo on a train of empty Berry Wiggins tank wagons. Unfortunately I can't make out if it's painted black or lined green. Does anyone have any information? Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinT Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Mark, In 'Steam in Cornwall' (Ian Allan 1993) there are 2 photos of it in lined green (& pretty clean) on the 'Cornwall Minerals' railtour (11 brakevans) on 28 April 1962. It's double heading (bunker to bunker) with a clean green 5531, & the photos by Peter Gray are at Bugle & Lansalon. It's a pity no colour photos of it turned up for inclusion in Lightmoor's vol 2 of 'British Railway History in Colour' but I would guess it stayed green until withdrawal but just got dirtier! HTH Martin Edited to include the word 'lined' - sorry shouldn't have been imprecise in the first place! (But in reality did any small prairies end up in unlined green? - I must get the new book on GW Moguls & Prairies by David Maidment) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted August 18, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2016 Mark, I'm planning a model of 4564 in lined green for my FoD layout, whenever that happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was certainly in lined green for the Cornish rail tour in the early 1960s. Regards, Nick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds as if it would have remained in lined green presumably with late crest? Will have to find a suitable Bachmann 45xx to renumber etc. Thankyou once again.

That makes both of us then Tim. I've a gaggle of Panniers and thought a Prairie would add a bit of variety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
