Just found the second and correct pic but keefer has beaten me to it. Apart from warning flashes only clean bits are where the numbers are otherwise they'd be unidentifiable!

Thanks for the larger photo. Greyscale, negative, 200% horizontal stretch Greyscale, negative, 200% horizontal stretch, 50% magnification I'm still plumping for D842!

Thanks, I believe we can do better than D84x, though. When I plumped for D842 I hadn't checked which D84x carried maroon and there were only four: D840/2/4/8. The third digit in the photo is different from the others which rules out D844/8 and looks like '2' to me, as it has a horizontal at the bottom. A '0' would be quite easy to spot, I think. In summary, it would be safe to say "probably D842." Sorry for being so fussy but there might not be another Warship to identify. .

Not D827, which means we have a Spot-the-Warship contest - yippee! I go for D842 Royal Oak, seen at Reading in 1969 in the photo below. http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6108/6310136322_6c94fdcb16_b.jpg I'm giving this a bump because caption still reads D827. There are two good reasons why this is not correct: 1. The number is clearly D84-something. 2. D827 was never maroon! No criticism of Dave intended.

Not 44617 as that didn't exist! Number is hard to decipher, possibly 44672. Is there another photo of this loco, perhaps? .

14 without any doubt.

I think it's safe to say that D5909 was the first of its class to go blue! No prizes for guessing where I saw it.
