Maybe a trick of the photo, but the washing appears to be on railway land - there is track hidden by the weeds in the foreground. Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it doesn't have a main reservoir pipe I can't see it having a blue star power controller and would need twin vacuum pipes if it had full vacuum brake control and obviously no locos have this 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hodgson Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 A lot of this rolling stock has been photogrpahed in a variety of different liveries. Were the chemicals so nasty they had to repaint them every year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the chemicals were undoubtedly more toxic that those used to day, the changes of livery reflected the various changes of ownership that took place over time. There is an excellent piece on weedkilling trains in the 70's and 80's on the RCTS website 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Inspection Saloons managed main-line running up to 40mph like this. Single vacuum pipe retained so it's still a fitted vehicle, remember DMU vehicles were often hauled to/from Works in trains with LH stock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
