RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted May 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2016 Further to post 51. 6103, 6113, 6114 were GFYWP. 6100 in blue had at least one cab door with a coming and went arrow on it upon withdrawal. Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signaller69 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Glad this has been revised, I had done the fywp on my heavily reworked blue model of 6129 incorrectly, this is now being rectified! Good roof shots of converted 29s seem rarer than rocking horse doodoo, anyone know of any good ones? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signaller69 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 As an aside, were snow plough brackets removed during the conversion from 21 to 29? There is a photo of D6150 at Aberdeen so fitted on p33 of "Diesels on Scottish Region" (Bradford Barton), but I don't recall seeing any photos of 29s so fitted?

tony6710 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I can see the gap it came from Brian! 1-MSP - 191 - 6107.6121 Eastfield.jpg Mike. Very interesting photograph. It looks like it was taken on the Cowlairs Triangle opposite Eastfield depot. Do you, by any chance, have the exact date for this photo, please? And, better still, do you have any more photos taken at this location and date you can share with us, please? Many thanks, Tony. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you part of the many coaches of Dalescroft Railfans that toured Scotland that Easter, it was getting pretty dark by the time the London coach arrived at Eastfield as I recall.

Signaller69 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Regarding D6107, when ex-works in 1967 the FYWP extended right up to the roof line as per this RCTS image: http://rcts.info/photographs/archive/380/RE/RE02151C.jpg Yet by 1971 it appeared confined to below the windscreen as per Brush Veterans photo shown earlier: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_02_2015/post-4697-0-90935500-1424824468.jpg I realise the area above the windscreen got very dirty and its often hard to tell the colour, but in the latter photo it actually looks to be painted black? Edit to add: Also the Cab door windows have bars over them, were any other 29s so fitted? Can anyone throw any light on this? TIA. Martyn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signaller69 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Nice shot on Diesel Image Gallery of Ex Works Blue FYWP D6107-having failed-at Larbert and being assisted by a class 20 on an Aberdeen-Glasgow train. Lots of good photos from the period on this site. http://dieselimagegallery.com/detail/470-D8118;D6107;class-200;200;20118;Green;small-yellow-warning-panels;GSY;passenger;Larbert-station;Larbert;D8118-1-S;3165;Jim-Binnie.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGP Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The D6121 / D6122 mystery / conspiracy is well documented here .... https://www.rcts.org.uk/features/diesels/loco.htm?id=diesels/D6121 Identities were swapped over to hide some wasted expenditure, in much the same way that the Identities of the Titanic and Olympic were swapped to defraud the insurance companies.

Not sure what the plans are for this, I believe the set was donated by Alexandra Workware, I became aware of this when I was working at Aggreko and it had been Aggreko who had bought this power unit (among others perhaps) to use in static generators, the SRPS contacted us to try and get some history on the unit. I don't know if there were any conditions around the donation. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow peak is still visible up to at least September 1969 in a photo I have, and I think probably remained under all the muck to the end. You can see how the yellow fades into dirt in this shot. https://flic.kr/p/o41SrK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
