The Ultimate Livery Debate...

Rasprava u 'Steam Traction' pokrenuta od Spamcan81, 25. Kolovoz 2014..

?

Does livery up front influence you riding behind it ?

  1. Yes (it must be in a livery I like, if it isn't I won't ride behind it/i'll ride another )

    4 glas/ova
    4.7%

  2. Yes (if because I find it interesting ie. recent repaint etc then i'd be interesting to ride behind)

    11 glas/ova
    12.9%

  3. No (I don't care if it was painted pink with spots i'd still ride behind the same loco)

    18 glas/ova
    21.2%

  4. No (I'm more interested in being steam hauled rather than the loco's colour)

    Safety requirements excepted but you've got to admit it would be different.

    All joking aside, the A4s never had a splash of red between the buffers, nor did the LMS streamliners IIRC.

    out of interest did any merchant navies have a early BR crest (lion and wheel) after rebuild or did they go straight to the late crest?

    There's a photo in Bradley of 35018 in that form; also 35020 while on test, though that is slightly cheating as it is coupled to a mis-matched high-sided tender with early crest for reasons previously discussed on here.

    Yes, some locomotives carried the cycling lion crest after rebuilding - 35012 for example. So that takes you into 1957 even though I think the crest officially changed over in 1956.

    I can't remember which book I read it in and I can't be arsed to find out, but I didn't make it up. A lot of the Scottish Region engines ran the night sleepers from Perth and Glasgow, so would have been green.
