Livery?

I'm confused about the front end of the Saints. From the drawings, there seems to be a difference of 2" in the bogie wheelbase between the old locos and the later ones, so it's difficult to judge the length of the dropdown portion. From photos, it does seem the dropdown portion begins significantly closer to the front end of the cylinders than yours. (I don't have the Nock book, which may address the matter, and it may be connected to the cylinder height setting, where the main piston axis, originally 2.5" above the wheel centres as per the initial Churchward setting, became inline with the wheel centres from the Court series onward. Was there a change in cylinder size?) Also, I wonder whether your steampipe is fractionally short?

I think SRMs at other places shared space in normal loco sheds. At Stourbridge, that part of the shed became, in effect, 'the steam railmotor shed'. This was done, in part, to prevent SRM interiors from getting too soiled from normal locos. https://didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/shopimages/railmotor_93_history_02.jpg

When did painted guard's name cease to be applied?

The banking shed for Sapperton bank was Brimscombe (not Chalford). (post crossed with that of Cwmtwrch)

Yes I know. Unfortunately, it is the only image left in that wide-ranging thread that survives the several great image loss events.

I don't know. Plate 643 of the bible shows an AA1 in 1900 with no tare indication (cast or painted). I suppose there is a logic here, i.e. what is the point of showing the tare weight of a brake van? (Although that policy, if it was a policy, was overturned a few years later.)

AA1 56933 in 1904/5 (a guinea pig to demonstrate the new 25" lettering). Cast depot ('SWINDON' in this case) and number plates. The guard's name is in italic. There is no tare indication (which seems like a painting mistake to me). For pre-1904, my guess is that the number, guard's name (where applied), 'G.W.R' and tare were all on the same plank.

mass: 1.5 x 10^8 kg (I'm guessing) speed: 2.5 m/s (I'm guessing) kinetic energy = 0.5mv^2 Joules That's a lot of energy...

Superb video.

Pendon always picked the prettiest locos.

This is confusing on a number of counts. It is possible that other 'reclassification' schemes took place prior to the main one (the accountancy scam) of c 1915, and it doesn't help that the bible doesn't explain which reclassification it is referring to. The second confusion is allowing Hydras into passenger trains at all, since they were not vacuum fitted. The subject was touched upon in the recent Modbury thread. Also, fig 169 of the bible is a G22 Hydra pictured in 1914 and stated to be 'Brown livery at this time.' That conclusion seems to be plucked out of thin air. We know NPCCS vehicles weren't always brown, and my current feeling is that there is no consistent pattern of grey to brown and back to grey across a number of diagrams.

3222 looked a bit different to that in its last years, with a P class topfeed boiler and an extended frame at the front (to accomodate a set of Bulldog cylinders). Seen here at Chester shed. I think the class were predominantly northern division locos in their later years.

True, but the nature of the enquiry was a bit ambiguous - apologies for the confusion. I'm trying to find a pic of a Metropolitan Bo-Bo with the stock. Edit: This is the pic I had in the back of my mind, but I think that is articulated stock rather than H&C.
