Baby Deltic Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 You can also add Class 31 for which GYE was very common, possibly due to the re-engining programme. I don't think you will find many (if at all) 1969 dated photos of a class 31 with GYP. They also had a lot with small double arrow symbols in GFYE.

Northern Maiden Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 It's relatively restricted timewise, being something which is almost exclusively post-steam other than in a few limited areas and consequently not as marketable as the all-green or GSY which can run alongside steam with impunity. It's also not that well understood IMO, for similar reasons it sits (again largely but not exclusively) in that strange interlude between the removal of D prefixes and ther advent of TOPS numbers Thats a very fair point Pennine.. and as pointed out by others there seems to have only been one or two classes that wore it as "common practice" for any length of time. I shouldn't grumble as it give me an excuse to thumb through my books for inspiration and get the paints out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few dated August 68. Compliments of Grahame Wareham (Brush Veteran's) collection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopardml2341 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Does this count as transitional ? It's certainly an oddity. http://www.flickr.com/photos/86020500@N06/8157415839/in/pool-1307883@N23/lightbox/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually had some form of mishap and the new indicator frame had come in yellow. Have also seen a FYE type 3 with a one green indicator frame.

Russell Saxton Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 'll go along with that, the GFYE 47 is very typical of the turn of the 70s and a good while after Very true, the variant appeared in March 1967 (so lots of scope for steam) and the last GSYP example disappeared in November 1970, there were still around 100 two tone green FYE 47s running in 1973/4 to survive long enough to carry TOPS numbering.
