RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted April 14, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 14, 2016 Painting Hood in Intercity livery wouldn't be my choice, although I agree it does look pretty good !! As I said when Ark Royal was painted in LoadHaul livery, I'd rather be able to see them like that than not be able to see them at all ! And who are we to tell the owners how to play with their toys?!

Vin Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hi all, 50031 does look good in Intercity livery. It is the mainline version as carried by parcels locos before the adoption of the parcels red/ grey livery. https://flic.kr/p/FjPp5M Regards Vin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Cheese Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hood does indeed look excellent in InterCity, this could have been 90's reality if Chris Green had managed to persuade IC to take them off his hands in his long quest to rid NSE of the things...(un)fortunately they were having none of it though! Presumably a lot of bodywork has been repaired too, as the loco was looking decidedly worse for wear around various apertures last time I saw it up close at Swanage a while ago. A mainline return would be nice as 50's have been rather lacking recently, though 31 seems to have retired from that since the generator problem at Chester some years ago? I'm sure it'll look even better when Midi and the other 50 Alliance lads have fully embellished it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Horse Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Ironically Mick, 007 was my machine when it was blue prior to refrub so I currently love it's current state so very much look forward to seeing your current rendition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted March 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) A dog's eye view of 50013 Agincourt as she waits for the RA at Oxford with one of the hourly Paddington expresses, booked to stop only at Reading. No date sadly but it must have been around 1984ish. Just after taking this photo I was very surprised to see a pair of 20s approaching from the south on empty cartics. I legged it across to the down platform (in those days I could do such things without risking a heart attack) and managed to get a shot as they stopped for a couple of minutes at the north end of the down through road. I'll post said picture in the Class 20 thread when I've tidied it up a bit. Edited March 24, 2017 by Western Aviator 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I love that photo - takes me straight back to my teen years in Oxford. A large logo 50 throbbing away in the rain, with warm diesel fumes swirling back towards the platform canopy, the route cleared onto the Up Main and the prospect of a full power notch 7 thrash from a standing start, roaring away past Hinksey and Kennington. Deep joy - thank you for sharing. And the 20s would have been seriously rare in 1984 (I remember the shock of seeing a pair spluttering round the curve through Goring around the same time) - looking forward to seeing that photo too.

RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted March 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) So here's another view of 13 on the same train at Oxford but taken from the bottom of the platform ramp. I thought large logo livery particularly suited the 50s and was the best they ever wore except, perhaps, for the black roof and red buffer beam that some of them got later on.

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted March 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2017 Love the MW cable hooked up on the lamp bracket, I've modelled one with a twist in the cable, but might have to have a go at replicating that ! Agree about LL being the best livery for them, especially with Black roof & Red bufferbeam variation, & if ploughs were fitted too, that was the ultimate !!

'13 appeared in LL livery in '84 and was (pretty sure) the last one of the six blue refurbs to be given the livery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
