RMweb Premium Steven B Posted May 25, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 25, 2021 Assuming you mean the overall dark grey applied prior to "Dutch" livery then you need Rail Express 117 (Feb 2006) which has the answers you need: https://railexpress.wordpress.com/2006/01/20/re117/ http://magazineexchange.co.uk/cw/rail-express-magazine-february-2006-issue.html Steven B.

RMweb Gold pheaton Posted May 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2021 I believe it was a small handful of locos..... 08s (not sure about 09s) 31s 33s 37s 47s as I understand it BR senior management considered it too ugly and thats when dutch came about....but cant verify that claim...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted May 25, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 25, 2021 Definitely class 09s. 09011 was one and I believe the 09/1 and 09/2 sub classes were delivered in this livery following conversation. Class 73s also carried the livery (73106 was scrapped still carrying departmental grey). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedepot Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 i have looked at quite a few pictures online and saw 08s, 09s, 33s, 37s and others. i wonder which loco wore the livery in service the longest? i can post the list of locos that wore the livery here when the old magazine arrives! tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted May 27, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 27, 2021 The magazine article gives the dates the locos were repainted into departmental grey, and the date they lost it (either for another repaint or because they were sent to the scrap yard).
