hmrspaul Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 These photos are of the recently introduced ADB975276 Bachmann Catalogue no. 39-529. In my student days we went for a local drive over to Stevenage and found this van in a siding. I suspect that it was on delivery from being modified to this new use for the Southern Region. http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/srcctdepartmental/eb075975 I have not fitted the brake linkages and vacuum pipe. Later in life the van retained the same writing and livery and also a TOPS code of QPV. http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/srcctdepartmental/ec64bd7b Paul Bartlett Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted March 15, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2017 I should link this to the PMV thread that I started. I have to ask, as I am not sure if it is my monitor, or the photos, but what colour is it? Olive Green, or Black Regards Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I should link this to the PMV thread that I started. I have to ask, as I am not sure if it is my monitor, or the photos, but what colour is it? Olive Green, or Black Regards Ian It is a very good olive green but very matt, unlike the prototype when new which, as normal, was in a high gloss. A very elusive colour to photograph. At http://departmentals.com/photo/083523 the photo of is of it later in life when it is in internal use and turned to the pale purple so commonly seen on the SR; fortunately it is recorded as being conserved http://www.cs.vintagecarriagestrust.org/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=2635 Paul PS nothing to do with PMV, its an Ex CCT .

RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted March 15, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2017 Sorry, Paul, My rolling stock recognition certificate is well out of date, and doesn't cover half the classes that yours does. In fact, I think that it is still a provisional one. But thank you for the additional info. Regards Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
