Did D5106 run in blue with SYWP but with “arrows of in decision”?.  Hint, hint.

i.e.: similar to D5021 which looks very good indeed.
I don’t need anymore Sulzer’s - honestly. Well maybe plus a few 25/0’s.

Simple answer. No.

Not D5106 but D5026 did.

Not my era, not my scale, but D5021 is exquisite!


Yep, definitely a rule 1 for me - wrong era.
 

D5021 made six SLW 24s for me with 24117 on order. Keep meaning to run them all at once, but I got told off by youngest son yesterday for D5021 making too much noise when he was watching TV, so I had better not have them all “powered up” :;

It must be the fold in the plate which makes it look as if the top of the yellow panels is almost at the top of the OHEW stickers.

 

I think it's just a good coating of North East muck that helps give that impression.

When did it gain a red bufferbeam?

 

Don't know.

 

All I can say is, I've had sight of three colour photographs that show D5106 in all over rail blue with red buffer beam. All these phots show the number one end but are only tentatively dated, so who knows? Maybe the No. 2 end was black? 

 

5106 (as D5106) went into rail blue at Derby in 1967.

Thanks Porcy. I think you may be right there, just found a photo of it on Flickr with one black bufferbeam, and one red. Says Derby, 1967.

I think the buffer beams are both black in that pic with the orange of the jumper connection giving the impression of red.

Geoff Sharp has a phot of the same loco, same time, same place, but from the other side. Can't confirm the colour of the beam as it's a B&W neg but it looks black. Also it's the number one end that is red in the phots I have seen. That end is black in the Derby works pic. Smashing phot though.

Looking again I think you are right - I must learn not to use the phone to look at pictures!

Anyone know of any supplier for etched nameplates for Experiment?

 

AFAIR the real loco didn't have metal plates ? believe they were just painted on ?   Some model versions came with transfer nameplates.

would there be one? I thought they were stencilled on the original 

The name was hand painted onto a steel sheet which was bolted to the body side so you could argue it did have a nameplate
