Norton961 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 An update on the slow progress of buil;ding Lilleshall wagons. Attached a photo of some wagons using the Coast Line transfers and 2 old pre printed Cambrian wagons. For these I painted in the strapping a very tedious job! 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norton961 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Fantastic to see a colour photo of a Lilleshall built and operated loco and showing the livery to be a light green with red rods. The green looks similar to the Peckett loco green, but would like others opinions. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norton961 Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 Looking at the details of Lilleshall locos in the book by Bob Yate (The Railways and Locomotives of the Lilleshall Co) the liveries are not always noted, but it appears that No3 the ex Taff Vale Railway tank was painted "light green" and we now know that the Lilleshall built No6 was also painted light green. I suspect that any locos bought in by the Lilleshall Co second hand would have kept the livery they arrived in, presumably in most cases black. I am attaching a detail of No6 showing the livery. The loco was transfered to the NCB in 1950 when the Lilleshall Co pits were nationalised but I suspect it did not do much work before being scrapped in 1955. The structure in the background is possibly Lodge Furnaces. David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

neal cooper Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Had a little explore yesterday between thunder showers and ran across this location. Didn’t get around it all as the car park shuts at 5pm prompt. Worth another visit and some pictures in due course. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesperus Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 That looks like an interesting trip out for a fix of industrial heritage while everythings shut. You couldn't post a pic of the remaining quarter of the leaflet could you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norton961 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 The Lilleshall Co wagon livery appears to change I think after the Grouping with the lettering changing from plain Lilleshall Co, Shropshire to the full Lilleshall Co Ltd with Glazed Bricks, Coal and underneath Pig Iron and Steel sections, Shifnal Shropshire. There are few pfhotos of this later livery and all appear to have been taken in the 1930s leading me to think its a post grouping change. Attached is a photo taken in the 1930s at Hadnall station and shows a Lilleshall Co wagon in the background. Further down the line a LC (standing for Littleton Colliery) liveried wagon can be seen. Cant quite make out the livery of the wagon next to the Lilleshall one though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means the set of transfers I only received last week aren't actually correct for my at-the-Grouping layout. I feel a sudden need to apply Rule 1 . . .

Norton961 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Mike I feel your pain, as I have some of the revised livery wagons (and I sponsered the production of the transfers!). But like you I cant prove its a post grouping change and so far no one else can so as you say Rule 1 applies. David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted February 16, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2022 what a great shot that is by Geoff--many moons ago he used to be the departmental photographer in the Geography Department at Birmingham University, and the walls on the corridor outside his studio were festooned with his photographs of railways, especially of the Midlands, many of which were published--he is still very active as a photographer, on Flickr, and I remember fondly those far off days 'in the department', impressed by Geoff's photographic skills on display to us undergrads... cheers, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Right thanks, I thought it seemed a bit narrow for what was the main road in the area at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
