Hymeks with small yellow ends

[steve fay]

When did the Hymeks start to receive their small yellow panels?

My layouts are based 1961/2

Also Warships No

D804 Cambrian

D814 Dragon

Thanks

Don't know about the Hymeks, but D804 first had its yellow panels on 10th Dec 1962

 

D814 on 25th Feb 1963

I believe D7020 onwards were delivered in GSYP, from February 1962.

The first 20 seem to have had yellow panels applied over the course of 1962 and 1963.

Thanks my chosen loco would be D7022 as she was in the first batch sent to Canton early in 62.

Hi

Don't forget to remove the headboard clips as well if modelling D7022.

I think at least one of the original batch delivered without warning panels lasted into 1964 before being done, can't remember which loco or which book it's in but there's a photo of it somewhere.

7019 was the first delivered new with a yellow panel, 7018 was delivered without a yellow panel but went into Swindon a couple of days after entering traffic and got a yellow panel added. 7022 was in traffic from 02/62 and stayed in green until 04/71.

 

As a general rule of thumb Overhead Live Wire Warning noticed first appeared during 04/61 and Yellow panels from 01/62.
