Actually I didn't realise that LL was applied to the 50s from 1980 onwards. I always thought that the livery first started being used a few years later than that.

Titan Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 There are pictures of Deltics taking over the cross country services to Edinburgh at York after relieving The large logo class 50 that had worked it from Plymouth or wherever IIRC. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book is incorrect then. 56036 in 1978 was the first large logo repaint. The first refurbished loco was in 1979, I think you meant c1980.

I'm working from increasingly unreliable memory, as I'm currently away from said book, and haven't looked in it for a while. And, yes, fat fingers and a small phone keyboard strike again. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted July 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 6, 2020 It’s an LNER CCT, not a BG which had tumblehome to match gangwayed stock and no end doors, so no flat top buffers. As modelled by Hornby. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted July 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Also for stowing items likely to be squished on the floor like cartons of day old chicks, fresh fruit, flowers, or broccili, and increasing capacity for the likes of pigeon baskets, full or empty. These fold down wooden slat shelves were found in passenger brake vans including dmu/emu stock, GUVs, CCTs, SR PMV, BY, and gangwayed bogie GLVs, and the GW Siphons, Damos, ‘fruit’ vans, LMS BZ ‘Stove, LNER BY, and probably others as well. They were hinged to the side of the vehicle and held by chains, which rattled when the shelves were folded up against the wall as the vehicle moved. Newspaper packers required gangwayed vehicles in order to access toilets. Edited July 8, 2020 by The Johnster 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Not a Fruit, no sign of ventilation between planks on the side. The Enparts has the X bracing at either end and V in the centre. The closest that comes to that is a Mink D and there were Enpart conversions of them in 1948 - although the centre V was a pair of Xs. The externally framed door also fits with diag V11 Mink D. Very nice photo of the Enparts conversion in the Tourret GWR wagon bible. Some were still in use in 1980. https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/enparts/efcb46ab https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/enparts/e74929f7 https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/enparts/eb571e76 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
