faa77 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I am modelling a petroleum refinery/terminal, circa 1980 to 2000. I am interested in locomotives/wagons used in this particular industry, which carry petroleum-specific markings. I am aware of: Bachmann 47 Pectinidae Bachmann 37 Conidae, Bullidae and David Lloyd George Hornby 60 Samuel Johnson Hornby 31 Vitrains Strombidae Heljan 47212 Lima 60s Lima 37 (The Railway Oberserver, Ripple Lane, British Petroleum and 37184) I really like the Lima 37 "British Petroleum" as it has the BP logo on it. I was wondering if there are any more petroleum locos with specific petroleum liveries/logos out there? For example, are there any BR Blue (or Grey) Large arrow engines with petroleum markings? Perhaps locomotives which had petroleum markings, but haven't been produced as models yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerr Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Not strictly Petroleum, but chemicals (as the later Petroleum sub-sector covered this) Several Immingham and Thornaby locos had ICI related nameplates The business decided due to the lack of related nameplates to enter into an agreement with Shell for related nameplates, of which 47190 was one The 37/4 which also carried these nameplates are also good choices and several of them were used on passenger duties in the early 1990s (due to late delivery of Class 158) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have found some of the ones you're referring to: Vasidae Muricidae Tonnidae Xancidae Haliotidae Arcidae Neritidae Don't suppose you know where I could find a complete list? Are you saying class 37s also carried the above nameplates? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub39h Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Missed out 37431 Bullidae which has a Shell logo on the nameplate. It was in InterCity Mainline livery but was a petroleum pool loco I believe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamperman36 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 If I remember correctly at least one of the 37,4s which were in ic mainline colours also had a small petroleum sector logo on the bodysides. Also some class 31s carried petroleum based names pre sector livery, can't remember numbers but here are some of the names "Phillips petroleum" "Phillips imperial" and "Fina energy" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerr Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 See : http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=34428 Missed out 37431 Bullidae which has a Shell logo on the nameplateAll of the Shell nameplates had the Shell logo included The "Shell" 47s were 47010 Xancidae 47054 Xancidae 47085 Conidae 47119 Arcidae 47125 Tonnidae 47190 Pectinidae 47193 Lucinidae 47194 Bullidae 47195 Muricidae 47196 Haliotidae 47224 Arcidae 47233 Stombidae (error) / Strombidae 47278 Vasidae 47324 Glossidae 47368 Neritidae What you will notice is some of the nameplates appear on several locos 47233 was transferred to Eastfield, the nameplates then appeared on a 37/4, which ironically also appeared in Scotland!

Yeah I believe "British Petroleum" was on a 37 and 47. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric709 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Yeah I believe "British Petroleum" was on a 37 and 47. 37715 and 47223 (223 one of only a few locos to carry the Ripple Lane depot plaque too) 37431 was the I/C mainline one that carried the Petroleum logo under the secondmans cab window. this has been done by Bachmann add to that list: 47319 Norsk Hydro and about 20+ other 60's. Can think of 002, 003, 007, 013, 014, 024, 025, 026, 027, 028, 063, 064 off the top of my head in addition to 60062 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I think 37418 may have briefly carried petroleum markings too. Its not too difficult to either renumber a 37428 model to that or replace the rail freight sector logo to petroleum and renumber another base model Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric709 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 yep 37418 carried full Petroleum livery, forgot that one. carried 2 different names in that guise "Pectinidae" and "Gordon Grigg" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Didn't it also carry the gaelic name too 'An Comunn Gaidhealach' for a month or so before renaming pectinidae in march 1991 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crompton Power Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Don't forget a class 56 carried Petroleum livery too, 56036. Keith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
