RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted December 21, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 21, 2016 A great photo indeed. I went searching for KX stabling point photos some time ago and that one gives lots of detail that you don't normally get. I would put it later than '73 though as I think it was '76 before head codes were discontinued, and a while after that before Domino replacements came in. Paul Thanks mate here's a couple more I found today to, each one seams to throw up something new. https://flic.kr/p/qQr7jA https://flic.kr/p/fuVeRo I'll have to get a brake van! https://flic.kr/p/dWrUVk An I really like this one https://flic.kr/p/sJ5ErN Think I've ran out of search options now Cheers 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopardml2341 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 A great photo indeed.

I would put it later than '73 though as I think it was '76 before head codes were discontinued, and a while after that before Domino replacements came in. Paul From t'web: The 'domino' marker lights preceded the discontinuation of headcodes by some time. In fact all of the Deltics were carrying that detail in the former headcode panels by late 1974. The experiment, DL/381, commenced with 9009 at the end of 1972 (initially at one end only). Later, of course, the headcode panels were completely plated over (except for 55 008/020/022 which were withdrawn with the 'domino' style). HTH?

leopardml2341 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Ah, I see now. Looking at the rest of the pic, could that be the result of photo enhancement? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted December 22, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 22, 2016 No this one Andy, D9016 It is a trick of the light and the dis-colourisation of the old slide. I have seen this sort of lemon-orange colour before from old slides of Deltics (and Hymeks) but none were painted like this for real all were Lime Green.

I have seen this sort of lemon-orange colour before from old slides of Deltics (and Hymeks) but none were painted like this for real all were Lime Green. Also, from looking at the flickr info, it seems that the pic was taken on Ektachrome film stock which is noted for a blue cast when processed. If this has been overcorrected by scanning I expect it would make the yellowy green of the lower band appear more orange than what it should? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I have had a second look at the photo, I could be wrong. There is a colour change where the curve of the nose meets the bodyside, again it could be the lighting. I have done an interwebthingy search, why does it have to be one of the persevered ones, I must have looked at every inch of today's Great Central with D9016 on it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
