RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 9, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2023 Excellent cover photo Andy and the reproduction captures the colour of the lower body area (on my 'puter) pretty accurately. Alas the cab window surrounds are over bright (due to the film stock probably) and look white instead the original colour. i look forward to reading this issue (but then i do with all of them) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a true reflection of the ivory off-white for sure! It is a great shot however, not overly used in the past, so I went for it. I do hope you enjoy the rest of the issue, and as always I appreciate your candid feedback. Regards, Andy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 On 06/12/2023 at 18:46, Not Jeremy said: It is Bulldog number 3345, at the head of an empty milk working, at Royal Oak in 1928, as others have said. That doesn't look like an oval plate to me, but I look forward to the new siphons book to see it in better detail. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted April 14 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 14 I like the shed doors on the front cover. Not mentioned in any BR livery instructions I think :-) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not mentioned in any BR livery instructions I think :-) I suspect that paint dates from well before Nationalisation Mikkel! The doors appeared permanently open when the shed was in use, so I guess the outside paintwork was hardly ever noticed. Funny how you miss such details! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
