I thought we were looking for something in GWR livery, so I'll put up two GWR locos off-piste and one of them is in GWR livery.

For a follow up, does anyone have a picture containing a loco from each of the Big Four? Bonus mark if it also has a Standard, Industrial, Diesel of Electric included.

I think that only describes one place. Somthing blue, fast and LNER. Somthing red, fast and LMS. Somthing ugly, black and Southern and two green western things.

 

Next, an 'Old and  New' pic

So probably Tornado then.

Here it is, appropriately for the time of year behind some poppies, with an East Coast electric heading the other way, at Botany Bay Crossing near Retford:

From my stuff to hand I suppose it will have to be this or the Flying Banana.

LMS 7050, built 1934. 

 

Let's follow up with something electric, loco or EMU, which is pre 1934.

 

Edit

Just noticed I have already included one behind 7020. That's excluded from the next picture.

Nice one on the main line. I had a few, but sadly all stuffed and mounted, including steam locos built back in the 1930s.

An electric railcar built by Ringhoffer in 1904.  Restored and running on the 1500V DC Tabor - Bechyne section in the Czech Republic.

Next, a steam loco built before the reign of Queen Victoria (pre-1837, not a replica).

There's at least one suitable loco in the science museum. And is the John Bull in the Smithsonian old enough? Not sure about that one.

Edit - John Bull dates from 1831, so would qualify. It's really badly displayed over there at the moment. Though I did just read that it last steamed in 1981 to celebrate its 150th anniversary.

Took a bit of finding but several railcars on CFV3V in Belgium are 1952 built: SNCB 4608 at Olloy sur Viroin 09Oct11

Is 1953 any easier?

There are a few preserved "Standards" from 1953 as well as an Ivatt 2MT and possibly an 08(?)

I can't find a preserved loco from any of the other companies from 1953

 

Of course plenty were made so earlier photos will be around.

In October 1988, Western Railway metre gauge YP 4-6-2 no.2196 makes a smokey departure from Udaipur City with a westbound passenger train.

 

YP2196 was 34 years old at the time of this photograph, being one of a batch of 150 constructed by German manufacturer Krauss Maffei in 1954.
