Fredo Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi, does anyone know where we can look up the timing of livery changes on Schools class locomotives from BR Black into BR green. If possible we are also trying to find the dates when they were fitted with AWS and speedometers. Thanks Fred/Alistair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted February 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2020 I suggest you get hold of The Book of the Schools Class Locos, by Richard Derry, published by Irwell Press. I don't have that volume, but the several companion books in the same series that i do have are excellent sources of such data. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.A.T.Ford Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) 38 minutes ago, 21C1 said: Also Locomotives in Detail Book 6 -Maunsell 4-4-0 Schools class by Peter Swift. This lists Changes to liveries and other modifications at the back of the book. BTW Maunsell is pronounced Mansel. So many people get it wrong Yes on the first part an excellent book. The second part (in bold). OH yes, yes yes. yes. Being half Irish and knowing the correct spelling and pronunciation of Poor Richard's name. I grind my teeth when ever I speak with someone who pronounces it Mawnsell! Mansell the wheel guy was English and so is spelt the English way. CAT Edited February 16, 2020 by C.A.T.Ford Only one Richard Maunsell. Pronounced Mansel! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.A.T.Ford Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Sorry my cat walked over the Key board. One of the best things about having Irish blood is the ability to tell a person to go to hell and they look forward to the journey. Do enjoy your trip.
