RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted February 15, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2015 Many locos were photographed in grey at works when first built. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danemouth Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 It is only since the last war that B & W films have become truly panchromatic. Until then it seems to have been common for the portrait shots of new locos to have been taken with the loco in a grey livery for the best reproduction on available film stock.

jonny777 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have quite a lot in the various shades of grey, (presumably what the film must be about, but I'm not sure if all the media luvvies invited to the premiere will appreciate 90 minutes of Railfreight locos) but if you mean all over grey rather than red-stripe or triple grey, then I do not have so many. I gather the film concentrates on S&M; which presumably is the Stockport & Manchester section, which narrows it down even further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I expect that Google Images will have bots searching for an example of one of the Fifty Shades Of Grey, so it would be a shame to disappoint.

Pacific231G Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The French PO railway painted their steam locos a fairly light grey but I don't think they kept them chained up at night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 We are not doing very well. I just did a search on 50 Shades Of Grey and we did not register on the first six pages of results. I got bored with looking after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather the film concentrates on S&M; which presumably is the Stockport & Manchester section, which narrows it down even further. Isn't it about Agfachrome 50S, a professional 50ASA film and a big brother to CT18? It had a very neutral colour balance, ideal for discriminating between different shades of grey.

Bert Cheese Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have no photos to hand, but off the top of my head I can recall D200 and 50035 running in grey works undercoat. I believe D200 actually worked a railtour as such, and 50035 was released from Doncaster in undercoat for repainting back on the WR for reasons that escape me now.

Norm81 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I thought it was about GBRf repainting most of the Class 66 fleet to match 66747, so they'd have 50 sheds of grey... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 56 in a shade of grey: 1986 or 1987, Hoo Junction Didn't take that many photos after 1987ish, more or less when grey started being more widespread, until much more recently, by which time grey was out of fashion again.
