D605Eagle Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Just found out that D6333 went straight from all over green livery to Blue with full yellows in one go. Does anybody know of any other locos that made such a jump? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennine MC Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) There are a few more contenders for late survivors in all-green in the 'Early Diesels' thread a bit further down, the ScR 20 referenced there on John Grey Turner's site is a possible for going straight into blue. No idea what number it is though. Several all-green 33s lasted into 1968, I'd think those would then have got BFYE Edited November 20, 2011 by Pennine MC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D605Eagle Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 There are a few more contenders for late survivors in all-green in the 'Early Diesels' thread a bit further down, the ScR 20 referenced there on John Grey Turner's site is a possible for going straight into blue.

Several all-green 33s lasted into 1968, I'd think those would then have got BFYE I though some 33s might be possiable contenders as the southern region were very sluggish with the yellow paint. I do know of some that went straight to GFY from all green, but I've not found any evidence of a jump to blue by searching on google. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted January 23, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) just trying to think of where i've seen it, but there's a pic somewhere of an all green 33 on the front of a TC set, might be in the 'fleet survey' for types 1-3? EDIT found it. p60 of BR fleet survey 4 types 1-3 (haresnape, batty/ian allan 1989). an un-i/d 33/0 on a waterloo-b'mouth near lymington jn. 30/3/67, train is TC stock. photo by john a.m. vaughan Edited January 23, 2012 by keefer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcwp Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Here are some 33s that may well have gone straight from green without yellow panels to blue with full yellow ends, though this cannot be guarnateed as they might have gained full yellow ends prior to full repaint: http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/5357723610/in/set-72157603653307095 http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/5448346842/in/set-72157603653307095/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/5438156119/in/set-72157603653307095/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/6015612212/in/set-72157603653307095/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/6696337161/in/set-72157603653307095/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/5355696138/in/set-72157603653307095/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/6132775793/in/set-72157603653307095/ And this one is from 1968: http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/5447741357/in/set-72157603653307095/ Here is a 71 still without a yellow panel in 1967 (but was this one then converted to a 74?): http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/5519539925/in/set-72157603648772112 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(possibly official sticker vesion over a hand-painted one?) Keefer, it is possible that serif numbers were overpainted and the new ones applied on the patches. It is also possible that 270 had another repaint between the KGX photo and the 71 photo in Crewe works, as the bogies have had the oil pump mod done, there is slightly discoloured patch were the shed plate was (not seen on the KGX photo) this patch does not match the brighter patches around the number or Crowsfeet.

The 40 with serif numbers, is D206. Also D238, 240, 245 & 248 had them. Maybe others too. Rgds, Ron. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon 123 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Me and Muttlley have had hours of fun with this stuff. Hows about; Two blue class 11s There are more than two. My photo collection includes the following. D12040, D12047, D12062. (Note "D" prefix). 12052, 12063, 12069, 12071, 12082, 12083. 12081 and 12084 were reported in blue but I've no photographic evidence. And one even more unusual, 12108 in green with double arrow. 12136 was reported the same but I've no photographic evidence. Have now found a photo of 12136 and it did not have double arrow logos. It did appear to have yellow coupling rods, (as did 12106). D12040 and 12069 had red rods on blue livery whilst 12106 and 12121 had tops style numbers on green. Paul J.

I try where possible (ie Copyright issues and the quality of the shots allowing) to include as many shots as possible of interesting livery variants in either the Sixties Diesel & Electric Days Remembered series or the Looking back at series of books. But I do keep a large record of scans in the library to refer back too. Keep 'em coming. Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpion Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 a class number designed to trick us you'd have thought the guy allocating class numbers would have thought "hmm, that's obviously got to be class 12" still, enthusiasm was frowned upon in them days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Saxton Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 The class numbers came out in 1968 though and the TOPS numbers not till 1973. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
