RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted November 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Head on shot of 50035 passing fellow EE baby 40106, running in to Bewdley. Posted more in hope than expectation-can anyone identify this NSE liveried class 50, at New St in 1987? I'm not sure of the date, but believe it to be around May-July.

I'm not sure of the date, but believe it to be around May-July. Now there were 13 painted in that livery, some had long names or plaques fitted, and that nameplate looks fairly short. Shortest name was 50023 Howe, slightly longer were 50029 Renown and 50034 Furious. I'd go for 50023... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) It's not 50023 as the white strip and orange strip above the windows overlap the headcode box. Therefore it must be either 50002, 50037, 50044 or 50048. The first three all had crests so it must be 50048. This photo even shows a clean patch on the grey lower body which matches the black and white photo: Copyright Steve Thorpe Edited November 4, 2021 by Flood 14 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D826 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Love that one of 50039 up at Dawlish. Cracking. Oozing atmosphere. Implacable had only been named on 20th June 78. That's how I like my 50s - domino headcodes and named, pre refurb. Lovely. Thank you Rugd1022 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
