RMweb Premium PMP99 Posted February 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 17, 2011 Can anyone advise me whether ex GWR Mogul 7341 was painted in lined or unlined green livery? From the pictures I have seen I am unable to tell through the grime! Is it also reasonable to assume that the loco would have received the late BR crest when it was modified and re-numbered from the 93xx serives in the late 1950's? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yes, the photos I have seen of the 9300/7300s as they went through works shows them emerging with the late crest. I will have a rummage through my collection and see if I can find any shots of 7341 for you. No promises though as some locos just seem perpetually camera-shy.

Karhedron Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hello, No shots of 7341 unfortunately but I have found a picture of 7324 still wearing an early crest. The picture is not the clearest but I cannot see any lining. Anyway, just to be inconvenient it looks like you cannot guarantee a renumbered 73xx will be in late crest.

RMweb Premium PMP99 Posted February 20, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have now found the answer to my original question of a couple of years ago, and post it here in case it is of use to anyone else. 7341 carried late crest and lining in 1960 - as seen in a photo taken at Shrewsbury Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidnutter Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Why not go for a hybrid unlined loco with a lined tender or vise versa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
