Fredo Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Hi, I am intending to renumber a model of D50 to D59, does anyone know where I can find a list of dates Peaks were repainted into blue, I am particularly interested in the period 1966 to August 1968. Thanks Fred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredo Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Thanks, I know that the only Class 44 D4 was repainted in Blue with a D and only some Class 45’s and 46’s were repainted in BR Blue with full yellow ends but with a D. Also I know that some Class 45’s received blue with small yellow warning panels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Downendian Posted March 24 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24 This site may help https://peakdieselarchive.co.uk/first-to-last-liveries D59 looks like Toton blue with small yellow panels in that time frame. Neil 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredo Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 (edited) Thanks for the info, I found some info on the Derby Sulzers Website and it seems D59 went into Blue with full yellow ends in late 1967, so I will stick with D50 which went blue with full yellow ends in 1969.

'CHARD Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 D59 was a recipient of single piece central headcodes within this time frame as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Fred . D50 was in 'Toton blue' with SYP and no BR totem nor double arrows, at 5th. March, 1967 and was still in this livery at 8th. March, 1969.. It later went into 'standard blue' by 1971. . D57 was in the same 'Toton blue' with SYP and neither totem nor arrows during 1968 . D58 was in the same 'Toton blue' with SYP and neither totem nor arrows at 4th. September, 1967 . Have you tried the BR Transition Liveries thread on RMWeb ? . Edited March 26 by br2975 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred It's not actually clear from your opening post what you are after Are you wanting one that was still green in your timeframe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, these 'Toton Blue' repaints retained red bufferbeam - AIUI the running gear remained untouched on these locos so you had the rather odd combination of shiny blue bodywork on grotty underframes! 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
