david_abramczyk Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I was looking for some clean (and preferably large) pictures of Gresley A1's and A3's in Works Grey, preferably in LNER pre-War condition, to get as references for a project I'm planning. Can anyone help there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I have only been able to find one, which is of 1470 Great Northern in works grey in one of my books, in an NRM publication from 1976, "Gresley and Stanier A Centenary Tribute", by John Bellwood and David Jenkinson, on page 16 (picture size 3 inches by 7.5 inches) which I could scan for you if you want. There are a number of places I might suggest you could investigate - The National Railway Museum their photographic catalogue has potential sources - https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/sites/default/files/2018-03/Photographic%20Albums%20List.pdf which may include the one mentioned above. There may be something in the Stephenson Locomotive Society or Railway Correspondence and Travel Society photographic libraries. The RCTS Locomotives of the LNER Part 2A doesn't have a works grey photograph, all the 'works pictures' are of locomotives in green livery. The chap who runs this website may have some information although there is nothing suitable instantly available on the websitehttp://www.lner-pacifics.me.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The picture I referred to is this one. Unfortunately because it is in a book we get a printing pattern when it is enlarged which I cannot rtemove. /media/tinymce_upload/2f3462ff16c9995a87a98f054307b1ad.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
