Derwent Valley 04s livery ?


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone has the details of the liveries worn by the 2 04s whilst working at the DVR ?

 

Started off as Gray ? Went green ? Are there any more details out there or can someone point me in the right direction please.

 

Is this any help ?

 

Photo deleted - wrong green apparently !

 

Taken at Layerthorpe in June 1979

Ta for that, I've seen it before but it helps. I believe it was N ER green, any confirmation ? Not what they started off in though I think, that's the one I'm trying to pin down. Now those PGA s ? Behind, I would love lots of photos about those ! Small batch I believe just for the DVR to use, a model of those would be something !

Lovely photo that PGH.

 

For the earlier grey livery, a quick google search finds this thread, see first post:

There are also photos in the rather nice book on the DVLR I have at home.

I've always wondered why a lot of the BP Chemicals Salt hopper PGA http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/bpchemicalpga were in Fosse Islands/Layerthorpe. Were they used there? I've not seen photos of them working in York and do keep a lookout for photos of anything working around York. I don't think they are mentioned in the recent book about the DVLR - although I've not got the club copy to hand.

 

Perhaps you are confusing them with the small batch of Covhops PAA http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/procorcovhop/e1c4d1929 http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/procorcovhop/e4ec2f7b

The Holne Publishing book [recommended] from 2014 gives the 04 livery details as 'Minerva grey with black & red panels [bonnet top] plus yellow & black wasp stripes. DVR 2 was sold and DVR 1 repainted into the 'NER' lined green livery as above.

Looking at my 'modern po wagons on BR ' I see what I'm in about is indeed PAAs 14152-14156 used for grain traffic with top covers. I've seen a photo somewhere probably taken by someone climbing up one of them in the yard at York taking a photo of the J72 worked passenger train in which the PAAs are seen in the corner. Never seen a decent photo of them at say Dunnington being shunted by 'Churchill ' . Would be nice to see.

 

Ta to Dava for livery details, :-)

Isn't there a good photo in the DVLR book?
