brian daniels Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I have a friend who is not the owner of a computer but is trying to find a picture of the Newton Chambers car carriers in Maroon livery. I have tried Google searching but drew a blank. Anyone know of any pictures on them in maroon please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted June 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2011 bernard beat me to it, p.197 of parkin has an official looking 3/4 view, credited to the NRM, york about the only one i found online so far is at: http://www.scienceandsociety.co.uk/results.asp?image=10438978&itemw=4&itemf=0005&itemstep=1&itemx=1 the lettering on the side reads 'EASTERN REGION CAR TRANSPORTER' EDIT: better version on NRM's flickr site Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37114 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 From memory southern pride had pictures of a completed model in Maroon on their webpage which maybe of use. While on the subject of these, when they went blue can anybody say for certain what colour the chassis/well was? Most pictures show they are heavily weathered but wanted to establish for sure as I have seen model painted black and blue (which is what I went for). Thanks.

RMweb Premium keefer Posted June 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2011 i don't think anyone's come up with a definite answer to well/underframe colour. a topic on making the soputhern pride from OldRMweb http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1509&p=20762&hilit=+newton+chambers#p20762 (contains a link to another thread concerning sleeper formations) lots of pics at http://www.emgauge70s.co.uk/proto_carcarriers.html could be either blue or black, difficult to tell under the gunk, but i don't think blue would seem too out of place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted June 17, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2011 Around the time these were built I saw a van which I think was a Newton and Chambers on the Rugby-Peterborough line. It had large lettering on the side reading Anglo - Scottish Car Carrier London - Newcastle - Edinburgh I have a scratchy old negative but it is just on the edge of shot and not really clear enough to confirm the type, but was unusual enough to make me look twice.

RMweb Premium keefer Posted June 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2011 parkin p.197 has a pic of E71072E, an 'LNER coach conversion' in maroon with that lettering - bodyside looks like a GUV with 3 double doors. also mentioned in the text on p.198 are E96200-3E, ex-LNER compos 88007/44/30/111 resp. with new bodies, two double doors each side, end doors. classed as CCT in maroon, with the 'anglo-scottish' lettering. these were 51' underframes with gresley bogies (for some reason ISTR Bachmann produced something similar in the 90s?) p.s. post the pic anyway, i'm sure someone will be able to tell what it is!

Swindon 123 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Never saw one clean enough to tell what colour the well was in blue livery. Have gone back thru my photo's ( the ones on "emgauge70") and some had blue solebars, what short length there was above the bogies, but the well never got cleaned so its anyones guess. Paul J.

RMweb Premium keefer Posted June 24, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2011 thanks for the link paul. incidentally, i missed out the lot info from parkin. initially to freight lot 3327 as BOCARS, they were 'delivered as coaching stock on hastily issued lot 30674'. it's stated they were cheaper than new GUVs (£2300 v. £4991), but there were only 4 of them and they only lasted 6 years in service Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
