And further to my earlier post on D1661 and D1662, from 'Modern Railways' magazine, May 1965... Photo by Hugh Llewelyn : D1664 at Cardiff General in October 1965... Photo by 'Dallam Dave' : D1664 at Margam on 5th June 1965... Notable that at the time of naming these locos retained the 3-part fixed radiator grilles despite being built with train air brake equipment (D1660 named in June 65 was the same) - they didn't look like this for very long, within the year all those newly-built Brush Type 4s sporting this combination (D1631-81 from Crewe, D1782-1806 from Brush) were modified to twin thermostatically-controlled Serck shutters, before winter set in threatening to freeze their radiators. D1664's condition in Oct 65 proved that having an illustrious nameplate was no guarantee of preferential treatment! The centralised position of 1612's number on the cabside shows that it had new digits applied during deletion of its D prefix (I can't say "prefixes" as a loco's four cabsides were not necessarily treated the same way - OTOH I can recall at least 1745 and 1947, and 1924 I think, carrying different number styles at each end); the absence of patch-painting indicates a repaint of at least the Sherwood green area. Most of the staining near the cab door handrail was probably due to repeated emptying of tea cup dregs out of the cab window! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not perhaps a special train of some sort? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps one of the sets used on the Poole - Newcastle train? If not perhaps a special train of some sort? The Poole Newcastle/Leeds trains were formed of SR stock until the change to Mk2s (I can’t recall when this happened but some time in the late 70s I think). They carried destination boards until 1974 at least (the traditional cantrail level ones, not the WR ‘continental’ style), long after they were discontinued elsewhere. The BSKs also kept their periscopes long after they had been removed from other examples. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted August 15, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2023 Was trying to think what's odd about the front end and realised there are no OHL flashes! I know the GCR doesn't technically need them but the loco would've originally had two on each end (one above each tail light) and one on each side (below the cantrail, near the door).

Anyone know what it's been up to? Given that it looks to be named and the westie on bodyside, I assume it's LSL's 47593 Galloway Princess. Not sure why it's there though.
