Chris M Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) We've all been there - you need a new door for your motor but you just can't find one in the right colour.

Steadfast Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Whilst not quite the same, a fair few EWS 66s have had the doors put back on the wrong ends, meaning the gold stripe makes a chequerboard effect I'm sure one of the silver Corus 60s gained a black door off a triple grey one too Jo Edited March 20, 2018 by Steadfast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack374 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I can't imagine this would happen in the UK... A quick search brings up these two locos which were resurrected from the infamous Toton scrap line, 60007 and 60059. Both wore Loadhaul colours but before a red dip they were fitted with parts such as roof grilles and cab roof mouldings off EWS maroon liveried examples... https://www.flickr.com/photos/benwheeler03/6077343643/in/dateposted/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/80308747@N07/7461108798/in/dateposted/ Thanks, Jack. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2018 Spain still uses highly sophisticated lorries for overhead cable maintenance. DSC01059.JPG DSC01060.JPG DSC01061.JPG DSC01062.JPG About the same as the kit being used to electrify the GWML although it is a lot newer and the cable drums are mounted on the actual lorry chassis instead of a separate trailer.

Most locos worked a test run or two between overhaul and repaint. 60092 worked trains off Immingham for about a month. It definitely worked the Westerleigh tanks and no doubt did other terminals served from the Lindsey area Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted March 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2018 60056 tried it's best to hide while wearing a 'camouflage' livery, before disappearing off on a test run ! Cheers, Phil. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted March 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2018 When your DMU needs more capacity just put a Collett SK on the back http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrbsh1163.htm 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 A well known photograph but for the benefit of whoever wrote the caption the SK is in blood and custard. The revived chocolate and cream was applied almost entirely to BR Mk 1s, plus some GW design catering vehicles, the Super Saloons, some slip coaches, VIP saloons and the dynamometer car. In Bylines a couple of years ago there was a photo of a single power car leaving Kingsbridge with an ordinary coach in tow. To judge by the clouds of exhaust the power car was not liking it one little bit. Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted March 21, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) There are photos online, forgotten where so can't post a link, of a railtour of the Porthcawl branch and other lines in the area featuring a Tondu 64xx and auto-trailers coupled to a class 120 power car. A coach attached to the rear of a dmu could not be steam heated, so the July date is just as well. Edited March 21, 2018 by The Johnster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sometimes see a panel on an aircraft in the colour scheme of another airline if a part has been replaced away from base. All the British Airways Airbus 319s that were painted in a “dove” livery for the 2012 Olympics have various bits of them in non-matching colours.

Wickham Green Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Down on the Underground, during mid-morning we had the Victoria line closed due to a fox on the line at Warren Street; he entered the station and went down the escalator!
