18B Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Afternoon would anyone happen to know why the doors of Stewarts Lane depot were painted with the logos of Trainload Construction and Railfreight Distribution? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 They were the sectors that many of the locos worked for. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SED Freightman Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 As Lyddrail suggests, although Stewarts Lane was a TLF Construction Depot it also maintained the RfD class 33's used on the Dover Ferry Linkspan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedmaster Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Stewarts lane depot doors Hmmm, that picture looks familiar ? How about this one of that third door... (This is NOT MY PICTURE though, I was sent this and would add the correct credit if I knew who it should be to) Many Thanks, Kindest Regards, Shed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedmaster Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Hi, Sorry, forgot to answer the original question.I'm unable to say definitavely who painted them or why...but...I reckon the fitting staff who worked there at the time probably had a lot to do with it. If you were able to see inside, you would see little embellishments here and there that I suspect were added to make the place a little brighter by the staff who spent much of their lives there.What about the open day in 1988? Were they done for that? Although that was marketed as an 'Intercity' thing wasn't it?In my own recent visits I saw that the inside of the doors still retain a yellow and black blue horizontal bar scheme, never having been updated. I very much hope the current scheme isnt changed anytime soon.I will get some pics up later to back up what I'm saying here - but the kids have nicked my laptop for their homework...Thanks,Shed.

Shedmaster Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Hi, It wasn't only the roller shutter doors that were painted...even the 'I' stanchions got a coating too : Inside the doors is the yellow and blue horizontal paint job mentioned in my last post : One of the hidden details of Stew Lane is this image of the depot plaque painted onto the mesh door : The plastic fluid collection barrels are sitting where 'Clan Line' lives when she's home. Stewarts Lane is one of those places where there's always somebody floating about with a paintbrush : ...and a supply of industrial sized paint pots : Thanks, Kindest Regards, Shed.
