Swindon 123 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 There is also D5212 in blue, yellow panels and lion & wheel emblem on 19th May 1970 http://www.railbrit.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete.php?id=22521 Nice find. I agree with royaloak in that it's green. Had its lower white band painted out though which does make it look different and could throw people off. Paul J.

Russell Saxton Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Sadly I don't know which end was which. Source is unimpeachable and not unique anyway but I have not seen photos though no photo would show it! 8005/70 were the same.

Russell Saxton Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Blue with panels and a lion were 5021/6, 5218 for sure. Some say 5226 but I have no proof. 7660-77 were blue with panels but arrows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpion Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 surely only 7660 and 7661 had panels, 7662 to 7677 were full yellow end from new Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david ellis Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sorry for that, my eyes must be going lol.

At least D5212 in green matches what you were looking for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted January 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2015 I think I would need to be convinced the date was correct for the photo of D5212 at Longsight. There's also a peak with small yellow panel headcodes behind, which seems something of a stretch for May 1970 for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david ellis Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Class 46 D165 ran to about October 1972 in green with yellow panels so over 2 years after this picture was supposed to have been taken. Of course the date could be wrong! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted January 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2015 Well that's me, well and truly convinced! It's a shame we can't see a little more of the Peak though. It seems D147 was another late GSYP example, but it isn't the one at Longsight - the OHL warning sign position was different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted March 23, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2015 Having dug through my B & W pics, I have found D7653 on 31/5/69 and D7604 on 6/9/69 with SYWP. Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon 123 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 With the possibility that the search for info for this thread has run out for the moment I shall summarize my research so far. It would seem the four best candidates are D5183, D5192, D5194, D7595. Of these D5183 and D7595 where GFYE by 1970, Photographic evidence suggests definitely before August 1970 in the case of D7595. Of the other two, D5192 & D5194, D5192 was GSYP until October 1970 when it was noted in Derby works so probably went to Blue. Although there is photographic evidence of it at an open day at Carlisle in May 1971 in GSYP and it is notedas being there on that date the notes of the open day locos present do not correspond accurately enough for my liking. Also there is a photo, supposedly of D5192 in March 1971 of it in quite fresh Blue livery. This with the fact that there was an open day at Carlisle Kingmore in May 1970 possibly means the dates for the photos of the 1971 open day could possibly be 1970 instead, leads me to surmise that D5192 went from GSYP to BFYE in Oct 70. D5194 is possibly the last one to survive in GSYP, retaining it until a visit to Derby works in Oct 1971. Photographic evidence supports this, as long as the dates on all the photos used are accurate. (A big if). The one loco left I am interested to know the date of it loosing its GSYP livery is D5193. Sandwiched between D5192 and D5194, it is of course 25043, which kept its green livery through to TOPS numbering. Does anyone have any idea as to when it went from GSYP to GFYE? Paul J.

Russell Saxton Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 5193 to GFYE-I don't have a clue! 5192 was reported blue in Nov 1971 Railway Observer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
