Is there any point in mentioning BR experimental blue livery twice in the liveries section? Or is it me being a bit pedantic? (Bulleid Pacific 21:44, 11 April 2007 (UTC))
- The BR experimental blue livery is not mentioned twice. The experimental blue is mentioned once, the standard blue is mentioned once. The experimental blue is ignored by Mannion and Sixsmith in their books but Jenkinson states it was carried by 7 locomotives. These 7 were painted in 1948 and were in a paler blue to the BR standard blue and had initially black and yellow lining, later changed to black and white. These 7 are considered by Jenkinson as the prototypes for the BR standard blue. The standard blue was adopted in 1949, a year later, which backs up Jenkinson thoughts on the 1948 scheme. The standard blue was not experimental, it was meant to be a standard livery for the bigger passenger locomotives, but due to it's poor performance in traffic in was decided to abandon it in 1951.

- I beat you to uploading those photos you mean? Yeah, you get the credit for finding them. Dunc|☺ 11:37, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

- I do like a bit of the old black-and-white; dont you?. Very moody. BTW, nothing heard from 'Ron Healey', re the Duke pic. How do we stand if Mr Healey is no longer with us?.

- If he's passed away, copyright of works published during his lifetime is inherited by his next of kin or to whomever he gives it to in his will. His work then becomes public domain on the next first of January 70 years after his death. So if he died yesterday, it'd be 1st January 2076 before that happenned. This is because of the corporate thieves oppressing the right of the people to their work, etc, etc, etc...

- However, there is a market for photographs like this, and you might be in luck [1] £2.50 for an anonymous 1955 photo of the Duke, (assuming that copyright is also bought, though i'm not 100% you wouldn't be in trouble if the original author did by some miracle turn up, but I think it'd be fairly safe if you explained that you assume in good faith that you do buy the copyright when you buy the image. It might be an idea to ask at Wikipedia talk:Copyrights, though everyone will probably be clueless. Dunc|☺ 14:16, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

- Fairy Nuff. I absolutely hate nitpickers, but isn't that the South end of Crewe station?. Memory fades, but I'm sure that wall in the background runs along the east side of the station. Also there's a tiny typo in your text (bath/batch) I didn't want to appear a smartass by correcting it. I'll sit tight for a few days for Mr Healey. Somebody got the e-mail, because it would have bounced back otherwise.(ChrisRed)
Yes I tried to email John Griffiths at two email addresses that are on his websites but got bounced back. Just what did you say though? We have boilerplate request for permission letters which might help. Dunc|☺ 20:04, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
I got bounced by John Griffiths' address too, but I managed to dig out another address for Ron Healey. Perhaps it is 'a' Ron Healey rather than 'the' Ron Healey, time will tell, although he was definitely a rail buff living in NZ. (ChrisRed)
- I got through to John Griffiths through his mates. I think Ron Healey is ignoring me. Never mind, I have others in the pipeline. Dunc|☺ 23:14, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
>> You may be interested to know - I have just (27/1/06) contacted Yahoo - Ron's e-mail provider- to see if I can get his contact details. I am the one who posted the query message on a.b.p.rail about him - a short time ago. I still have not had any response from him either (paddy.oates@tpg.com.au) <<
