RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted October 15, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 15, 2016 This is a long shot, as what I am looking for seems as rare as the elusive rocking horse muck. From just after WW2 until about 1959 there were a couple of Davenport-built USA tanks shunting around the Austin works at Longbridge. I would like to do a model of one and have a picture of Austin No.5 in the book 'Changing Tracks' by Roger Shenton. This one is in the same series as the NCB ones currently available, and appears to be almost identical. The lining of the tanks shows up well but in monochrome it is impossible to tell how much was painted in Austin's green livery and how much is black. The only picture I can find on the web purporting to be at Longbridge shows one still in WD livery. Does anyone have any knowledge of any other pictures of the locos ADA II and Austin No.5 taken at Longbridge during the 1950s? Thanks for your time in reading this.
