bill badger Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Can anyone say what the yellow motif is below the cab window on these linked Class 31 photos? I'm putting together a renumbering and weathering gallery. I don't recall seeing / noticing these back in the day. Tried numberous searches but not turning anything up. Should be two links to Flickr below... https://www.flickr.com/photos/37190-dalzell/49969863138 https://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelmenzies/39803025433 Edited November 8, 2021 by bill badger Typos!

Simon Bendall Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) It indicated the loco was allocated to the engineer's fleet and displayed the region the loco was based on.

wirey33 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 If you're looking full a full list of locos which had these markings, and SO much more besides, this book by Pip Dunn is an essential reference.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FIP8X2O/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47475 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Class 31 no. 97204/31970 in RTC livery had them, but they were very subtle and easy to miss on this particular loco because it was orange on red. Edit: Only after it was renumbered to 31970, it seems. Edited November 14, 2021 by 47475 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
