circa March 1957

A rare colour Derby Works image showing a brand new Derby Heavyweight set formed of E56035 / E50035 which was new to Lincoln in March 1957. Location unknown, possibly on the Wirksworth branch as these images often were. Colour images from this period were often hand tinted black and white images but the quality in this suggests it was taken in colour. A B&W version does exits (negative 57/142). One thing of note is the gutters - in b&w images these always showed as being darker than the body and the assumption till now was that they were black. Here they are a dark green. British Railways.
