Liveries

Green with whiskers

They were delivered in an unlined medium shade of Brunswick green with white cab roofs and yellow speed whiskers.

The image shows a set passing the long closed Gas Works at Tottenham, London, c.1962. 53A Models of Hull Collection.

Green with yellow panel

The whiskers were replaced during the early '60s by split yellow warning panels, one either side of the central character train describer which remained green.

The image shows such a set at Wood Green, circa 1969 / 1970. Note the centre car is now in blue. Tony Wilkins.

Rail Blue with yellow panel

During the mid to late 1960s rail blue appeared, and initially some sets had just a yellow panel on the lower half of the cab front.

One of these is seen in Southminster station in February 1970. Steve Davies Collection.

Rail Blue with full yellow end

Soon full yellow ends became normal for blue vehicles, as seen on E51006 in Broad Street in 1976. John Law.
