leopardml2341 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Found this yesterday (third Image down on http://www.tauntontr...co.uk/DUFFS.htm) possibly the very last version of a transitional livery?

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted October 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2014 Although not a diesel, here's what looks like a class 71 in GFYE, October 1969. It's an eBay slide so image won't be around for ever. BR Totem, number positioning and blue TOPS sticker all support the greenish tinge to the loco livery. Also look at the Transfesa van behind the loco - the van is clearly blue. Slide is currently £63, worth it in my opinion for an image of this rarity - the dark ages of diesel and electric modelling. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K44-Railway-Slide-Original-class-71-E5010-Tonbridge-unsure-on-Minster-thurroc/361063916990?_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D555012%26algo%3DPW.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D25400%26meid%3D8b93431525e84424a3af26af6b263a7b%26pid%3D100010%26prg%3D10670%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D24%26sd%3D201184430935 Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpion Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 looking in the Colin Marsden DC Electrics book today and there's a picture of E5001 in green with full yellow ends. Its wrongly captioned as being blue but there's a clearly visible totem and its too careworn to be blue in 1967 a colour picture of newly built E6007 is also described as electric blue but is obviously RailBlue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray M Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 That slide of the class 71 on e-bay, went for £ 72. (wow). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 £72 for just one slide, and I remember a mid 60s shot of a green Hymek at some long closed station fetched over £100 a year or so back. It makes me wonder whether taking my parents advice, and sitting hunched over vast amounts of homework at weekends and light spring evenings, was actually the sensible thing to do. I could have blagged money from my grandparents and spent it on Boots Colourslide film (all I could realistically afford in those days), and gone out on my bike photographing pre-TOPS diesels at country stations, and now be a rich man.

StaffsOatcake Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I original put it down as 1973, but having found my fathers listings I can see it was a full 2 years earlier It was taken on 12th March 1971. Class 24 D5058 off the rails, whilst Class 25 7511 had arrived with the re-railing train a short while earlier. Shows the crossover from SYP to FYE in progress. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/51722-railways-around-stokestaffordshire-in-the-1970s1980s/page-3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus some more shots of it here. https://flic.kr/p/5w9NmH https://flic.kr/p/Hirf84 A comparison between dates suggests that the yellow warning panel was repainted in the original style, even after the accident damage compared to what was normally on a 37.

'CHARD Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Crikey! That looks lucky to have been rebuilt, given the damage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D820 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 One of my favourites on Flickr is this shot of D1047 'Western Lord' passing Devonport Junction in 1969: https://www.flickr.com/photos/96859208@N07/12748595474/in/faves-79600589@N02/ Only a few Westerns were painted in this livery, although I think it looks realy smart. Also in the KDH Archive is this shot of D1068 'Western Reliance' departing Bodmin Road in 1969, this time the livery is maroon with full yellow ends: https://www.flickr.com/photos/96859208@N07/12748272353/in/faves-kernowrail/ This site by Steve Boon has a complete list of liveries carried by the class 52s, well worth a look: http://www.jboon.fsnet.co.uk/westerns/index.html We are really lucky these guys had the forsight to photograph these diesel liveries, as it was only a year earlier so many photographers put their cameras away with the end of steam.

D820 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 One from Glawster Oldspot's Flickr site, showing blue with full yellow ends morphing into Lord knows what. Not so much a transition livery, more a livery in transition!
