I am trying to put together a selection of liveries for late BR diesel locomotives. The idea is to show one of most if not all types but with as many liveries as possible.
Can anyone say if any of the following ever ran in the original Railfreight plain grey (before the three-shades-of-grey was introduced), BR 'big logo' blue or privatisation liveries other than Freightliner or EWS?
Class 24 introduced 1958 withdrawn 1980, known as the Rat
Class 25 introduced 1961 withdrawn 1987, also known as the Rat
Class 27 introduced 1961 fitted with dual brakes and then fully refurbished only to be withdrawn in 1987. Enthusiasts called them the Mac Rat (same name as the 26)
Class 44 'Peak' introduced 1959 withdrawn 1981
Class 45 'Peak'introduced 1960 withdrawn 1989
Class 46 introduced 1961 withdrawn by 1984
Class 59 introduced 1985
These will be added to the section of the Goods and Not So Goods website detailing locomotive types.
Regards
Mike
