RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 21, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hi Guys Anyone know what number this loco is with this unusual small yellow panel? http://www.flickr.com/photos/kerryp28/6555891843/in/pool-703246@N21/ Where there any others as this is the first I have seen.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 21, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 21, 2012 Cheers Porcy Give the painter a pay rise. It is not often that photos showing variations of green livery Type 3s appear. The two photos clearly show both ends. There are times when I see an odd yellow panel on a loco that I question is it the same both ends because I can never locate a photo of the other end. As I am writing this I am thinking is this a one off or were there any others? Now what excuse can I find for it to wander over to East London and end up on Hanging Hill?

trisonic Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 That's easy - if any loco appeared on their patch Stratford would hang on to it as long as possible and then send it up on a train that they didn't want one of theirs on........ The livery looks great! Green was the best time anyway....imho. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 You've jogged my memory with this one - I'm sure we spotted it through Cambridge? Without a very thorough sift through my spotting books though..... Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 So not an ER loco until 1977 I'm afraid Clive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjnewitt Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I came across this varation on the small yellow warning panel today. Not sure I've seen (or perhaps noticed) one with four square corners before: http://www.flickr.com/photos/actonwellsjunction/6717541347/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted November 1, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 1, 2012 Well spotted Justin. I had looked at the same photo a couple of minutes before reading your post and had not noticed the yellow panel. Clive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjnewitt Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I was looking for as built RSH centre headcode machines and I saw it and something just looked a bit odd. As an interesting, perhaps, note it seems that RSH and Vulcan painted their warning panels slightly differently on the centre headcode 37s. On Vulcan examples the yellow was applied to the rim around the D lights whereas on RSH ones it was left green.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted November 1, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hi Justin You can look at hundreds of photos spotting little variations but sometimes there are things that just pass you by. In a few days the small yellow panel on a centre headcode 37 has gone from one style to four, well six. Must not forget the two with the signwritting on them, one for the 1000th(?) loco by English Electric and one for the 300th Type 3. I am sure somebody is going to give us the numbers of these two, hope so as tonight I am far to lazy to get my books out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjnewitt Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hi Colin, Nothing is as straightforward as it seems once you start looking! Unfortunately so at times. I wasn't aware of anything special about those two locos. I'll have to keep an eye out for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37114 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 D6999 was the 300th type 3, there was a good shot of it with the writing on the yellow panel in the book "The power of the 37's", not sure about which one was the 1000th EE loco, or any special lettering for that matter.
