261-5 In colour

This little selection illustrate how The Locomotive Publishing Company made coloured cards which illustrate engine livery, and used these for internal communications. Many are print signed F Moore, a company pseudonym. These are Southern related examples, but there are others from other railway companies.
261. This card of the LB&SCR 4-6-4 tank locomotive was posted 8th Nov 1924. Signed D L Burge, it says that the owner of the (BW) negatives has moved house which has delayed printing. This LPC can be assumed not to own the copyright.

262. Photograph  labelled LB&SCR Victoria Station, acknowledging an order.

263. LSWR Class E14 330 in Drummond days (pre-1911). Not posted. Note the Drummond firebox pipes, removed by Urie who preferred superheaters.

264. LSWR H15 486, posted 16th April 1925. The order acknowledgement indicates that LSWR 330/334 rebuild pictures had been ordered but were not available.

Reverse note by Mr Burge explaining that they had no negatives of the postwar rebuild of LSWR 330 and 334 "rebuilt as 2 cyl. locos" (i.e from E14s  to H15s).

265. Labelled Plymouth Express near Surbiton, LSWR No 148? (so Class L11). Note the Drummond firebox pipes, so pre-1910.
