Ken Barnes kindly sent in these pictures after seeing the shots of the experimental liveried Gloucester cars in update 78. It seems that 56315 was sent to St Rollox for it's conversion for use on the weedkilling train, where these two shots were taken in restricted conditions. The car was still in it's experimental livery, but this shows that a blue stripe was also tried as well as the earlier orange stripe, this one having the BR Logo below rather than on the stripe. These shots also show the front window that was replaced in the front saloon. Ken Barnes |
