RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted August 6, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2013 Roundhouse asked for some shots of this as he's making one for Banbury - I thought might as well make a thread for them. Forgive the apparent change in colour, I didn't have long to get the side shots, so no time to check/change the camera settings Photos taken 12 June 2013 at Saxmundham 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted August 6, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thanks for those shots. Very useful. It's got a lot grubbier in recent times so mine will look fine with the imperfections in my paintwork. I also notice that they have now painted the bottom edge of the cab front step recesses black which were yellow in the past. It also shows a distinctive if fervent shade of cab front and leading edges to be a different shade of yellow...hmm, now do I do that or not! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted August 6, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'll dig the roof shots out soon (next few days) too - these were already "ready to post". (and I'll post some shots from the same period - 2009/10) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 18, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 18, 2013 Apparently 950001 now carries the LED style light clusters as of this past week. Ta RC! Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdw7300 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Looking at Beast’s excellent reference photos you can clearly see the two shades of yellow - Warning Yellow on the ends and Network Rail / Sunshine Yellow on the sides. My question is does 950001 still have two different shades of yellow following the 2016 refurb and repaint? Having spent half an hour on Flickr I still can’t tell!

I have a photograph of 950001 from 22nd June 2016 in which I'd say there are two different shades of yellow and one from 12th September 2016 in which I'd say it's all the same shade. Both must have been after the refurbishment (March, I think) as they have the new 'magnifying glass' motif, so I think the apparent difference in colour is caused by the angle of the Sun and the materials on the unit rather than the paint colour.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 31, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2017 It does indeed have 2 shades of yellow, the 'yellow end' starts just in front of the OHLE flash sticker (wrapping about 6" around the side of the unit) Very hard to see though https://flic.kr/p/KZ6foZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 31, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2017 yellow.jpg I can see it now - if I didn't now know otherwise, I'd have said it was a fold or join in the steel shell. Thanks Jim. It's funny but that photo is the only one that I have taken of it where you can clearly see the different paints, daytime pics just don't seem to highlight it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Only just found this thread, here is a pic from the Derby Etches Park Open Day in 2014 where you can see the colour difference Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
