BR green locos in the late 1970s

PWM650-4, ADB968000-3, 8598 all survived the westerns but do they count as revenue earners? -

Yep, 47256/365/6 plus a couple of 20s. -
Hopefully of interest to most on here. My book 'BR; From Green To Blue' is out shortly, it's a photo book, 160 colour shots with captions all about the changeover from green to blue liveries (and from black and maroon too) and features shots from 1964-87, predominantly from 1967-73. You can order it from https://shop.keypublishing.com/product/View/productCode/B700/BR: From Green to Blue Book

BR green locos in the late 1970s
Russell Saxton replied to MarshLane's topic in UK Prototype Questions
It does happen. I had one of my shots used on a postcard and sold in a shop. It appeared on the net and I asked where he'd had it from and was directed to a shop locally. They were selling for charity so I couldn't really complain but i would have preferred the civility of being asked. I could have given them a hi res one so my work didn't look as amateurish for a start. -

Yes the original cover was the 40s but the publisher opted to use the D600s instead. Both shots are inside the book -

For those interested in this sort of thing I have a book on the topic out this month. BR from Green to Blue. 96 pages of illustrations with detailed captions and lists of locos in particular livery styles and combinations that should answer a lot of questions hopefully. https://shop.keypublishing.com/product/View/productCode/B700/BR: From Green to Blue Book?fbclid=IwAR32fJ4fTw-g6dfURd7b-oQBHC70zA6zSohkU7J8kxzghCXEYCC8vlXEwmc -
Scottish Region class 20 - plain green
Russell Saxton replied to Alex TM's topic in UK Prototype Questions
D8029 MAY have ran into 1969 as plain green. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373092548996?fbclid=IwAR3QPsbDYgcaRWHTRLvAugAGff6nBD4xuEEcF_6AB020-a9litHkMPmGaxU -
A photo has emerged of 8029 in Green without yellow panels. The date has to be after december 1968. It was reported GFYE in autumn 1969 and went blue in march 1970 but can anyone shed more light? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373092548996?fbclid=IwAR3QPsbDYgcaRWHTRLvAugAGff6nBD4xuEEcF_6AB020-a9litHkMPmGaxU

Fair enough. its not come up as a link. I don't mind mate but you have to be careful over copyright. I did once find a shot of mine on a postcard in a charity shop! I will always allow my stuff to be used but always with a credit. Cheers! -

Where did you get the picture of 20050. It's my shot taken at Swindon 6 June 81. No issue with using it but I would like to be credited. -
Ray can you post the shot of 47362?
