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. Paul J.

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” :; Roy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just a good coating of North East muck that helps give that impression. 5 hours ago, Roy Langridge said: 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.

I think you may be right there, just found a photo of it on Flickr with one black bufferbeam, and one 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. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
