Laira Blue Class 50s

[UP6936]

Hi all,

Would anyone be able to tell me how many, and which numbers, class 50s received the 'Laira Blue' livery?

Thanks in advance,

UP

2 in period - 50008 and 50019

Good to see you're asking about some quality traction!

Thanks Blaine!

Yes agree there warbonnet, great locos. Thinking of repainting an old Lima I have into Laira Blue, hence checking what numbers I could do.

While we're here, any recommendations for a decal/ etched nameplate supplier for 50s?

Thanks

50 037 also was painted in this scheme for about a week!! It was definitely in these colours 28th March 1990.

Thanks NIRCLASS80, will have to decide what identity my loco is to assume after its painted

Love the 50s too although the Laira blue ones are a little bit late for my time period. Mine are all large logo or early to mid NSE, the only exceptions being 007 and 149. Currently doing 044 Exeter in early NSE.
