'Billie' livery.

Postby nvincer » 01 Aug 2009, 18:08

Hello All,

I am looking at creating some of the Dreamland MR locomotives and Stock for Microsoft Train Simulator. However I have been unable to find any pictures other than the one seen here -

http://www.joylandbooks.com/scenicrailway/images/DreamlandRailway1972b.jpg

Does anyone have any pictures of the front of the locomotive in this livery or know where I can find some?

I have seen the majority of the ones on this site, so if anyone is hiding any I would be pleased to hear from you!

Actually, any other DMR pictures you have, coaches/locos or anything would be useful.

Thanks in Advance,

Ben

Hi Ben,

Can't help with livery, but great to see another railway enthusiast on here, and you even have 'vince' in your name!

It's not a secret that Vince (Charlie & Sam variety) and myself are railway enthusiasts. I have just been in the garage to put the batteries for our 5" class 37 on charge. It's a running day at Reading Club tomorrow!

Vince.

Aye, its good to see that there are already some railway people on here!

A 5" 37, very nice! One of our 5" Rustons is on charge as I am writing this, although Reading is a bit far for me :wink:

There are two photos of Billie in Dreamland Remembered, taken in 1949. In one, she has smoke deflectors a la Schools class, painted and lined, and in the other they have been removed.

You can count me in as a railway fan too. I have an idea that at various times Billie could be seen in LNER apple green and LMS red - confusing. These days he/she is at Preston in a less than fetching shade of faded rustproofing or primer red
