47706 Scotrail Livery Question

Recommended Posts

 I have seen a few pictures of 47706 in faded Scotrail livery carrying either the Haymarket Castle logo on its own, the Eastfield Highland Terrier on its own, or both logos on at the same time minus the Scotrail Wording. Then also with additional NSE Flashes when it was a NSE Loco.

 

Before 47706 was transferred away from Scotland did it every carry both logos on one side and just one on the opposite side but still retaining the Scotrail Wording and before the stripes became faded?

 

I have searched online including going through all the pictures on the Class 47 website but I cannot find a clear enough picture of both logos on one side and either still carrying its name or without the name plates.

 

I am trying to work out if the pictures of the model of 47706 is correct or if I need to fade the stripes or remove/add either the Haymarket or Eastfield Depot logos?

 

TIA

13th October 1990 with only the Eastfield Terrier showing (click to enlarge):

47706, Aviemore

 

By December 1990 this side had the Haymarket Castle showing as well:

47706 Saltley

 

It was reallocated to Crewe from Eastfield in November 1990.

 

Looking on Flickr, the ScotRail seems to have been painted out around September/October 1991.

This is how I got confused as the white stripe in the second picture is showing signs of wear.

So, for a pre-1990 I would need to remove the Haymarket Castle 

I will need to give Flickr another look to see what I can achieve 

 

Thanks
