I always end up looking at the "similar / related items" and on a couple of occasions it has led me to find something that wasn't overpriced sh##. This time I ended up looking at ancient American diesels, which I won't be buying, something to do with having plenty to be getting on with already... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I believe so, Wolverhampton was quite autonomous as they built the standard gauge locomotives there. After 1892, a lot of engineers transferred to the former broad gauge works at Swindon. Several shades of dark green were used as the livery of the stock changed. Wagons were never painted in WTF? green though... 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time they featured a Soho and Winson Green on the line to Wolverhampton (Low Level). A Brummie friend once told me he always preferred the GWR route to Wolverhampton because it was in a cutting so you didn't see the surroundings. 3 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
