Hi again,

 

I have found plenty of images of these PCAs, mostly taken during the 90s; what I cannot find is a note of when the livery was introduced.  These links should show what I am referring to.

 (Yes, this one is of a Farish model.)

 

Many thanks for any information, or pointers to other sources.

 

Regards,

 

Alex.

Hi Bernard,

 

Yes, you are correct - the Castle symbol was first used in the late 70's *1977/78 rings a bell, but only after Ribble Cement became part of a marketing group arrangement with some other cement works.

 

The Ribble Cement livery carried on for a few more years before getting the full Castle Cement livery. I have notes (somewhere) from several visits to Clitheroe which include the numbers of the first wagons in the Castle Cement livery.

 

Thanks

Phil H

For those who may be modeling in the late 50's to late 60's, the livery of the Ribble Cement Presflo wagons was just like the road tankers pictured in the links.

I can't remember if the roundel was the smaller or larger of the two shown when used on the rail wagons, I was only 10 years old at the time. 

The castle depicted on the roundel was to represent Clitheroe Castle.
