RMweb Premium Shropshire Lad Posted January 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hope fully a straightforward question! What does the yellow logo above the number signify on this loco? Thanks Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted January 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2017 IIRC it shows its allocation to the civil engineer's pool. Date-wise it'd suit circa 1990 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted January 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2017 Think actually it was British Rail Telecommunications and as such I think there was about 6 loco's that where refurbished at their expense. There's info on the BRT locos here: http://www.samhallas.co.uk/railway/brt_locos.htm Prior to their refurb some of these may well have carried the Civil Engineer's cabside flash, but the letters showed region the loco was allocated to. Presumably LMR on the class 20s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its not, they had a big BRT logo on them instead, that is prior to them being fully repainted in the grey and green livery It was a civil engineers logo and generally had the region in it ... I've certainly seen LMR and ScR Edited January 20, 2017 by GordonC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM47079 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) A lot of class 31s down HD our way started getting them. And their ownership was the civil engineering region they were based at. Later on there would be repaints in the grey followed by the Dutch. I quite fancy that 20. Is it a new release?

wirey33 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) They were called DCE stripes (Department of Civil Engineers) Classes that carried them - 20/26/31/33/37/50/73 There was also a grey version for MEE (Mechanical & Electrical Engineers) Classes that carried them - 20/26/31 [info taken from the excellent "British Rail Main Line Locomotives - Specification Guide by Pip Dunn] Edited January 20, 2017 by wirey33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
