  I am making a model of the saloon above. This picture shows it in EW&S livery but i believe it went into the later EWS wording do you know if the letters are in the same location? I have seen a model of some one elses and they have it central on the bodyside but i dont think that is right. If you can help that would be great.

  Cheers Tony.

  There's a pic here at the GCR just before it got repainted presumably. Lettering isn't that clear but it looks like it only ever carried EW&S branding.

  Or if it does say EWS its in the same position - view at full size.

  Does anybody know what the 'box' under the running number on the side reads?

  I think it is a depot logo InterCity introduced a number during the early 90s that included a ram for Derby Etches Park, a windmill for Crown Point and the twin towers for Wembley. Which one is on this vehicle though I have no idea.

  As an aside does anyone know any other I/C logos that were used by depots?

  Hi Jon, thanks for the speedy reply, lets hope that somebody knows which one it is.

  Looks like a 'shed sticker' older ones on locos and units printed vinyl background in BR Blue with white print, later with Intercity livery, black text on clear background.

  DY - Derby Etches Park had a Rams head logo sandwiched between 'D' and 'Y'

  Although that's not to say it could be a T S for Tyseley that had 'TS' together then a bear logo on the right of the text.

  I also recall a few spoof ones printed, indeed test car IRIS had a whole internal partition covered in them from depots it had visisted

  I've got exampled of the intercity DY and TS if you need a close up,

  Hi Robin, a close of both would be very handy, could you post them here (Ben?) as they are relevant, or if not, my email address is m.cole456@btinternet.com

  many thanks.

  Hi Ben. You asked Robin before I could. I would like to see both the depot logos too so if they could go on the website it would be great. I am trying to get a comprehensive list together of depot symbols hopefully for eventual publication one day and any info should help.

  Depot stickers not really for this website but I have asked Simeon if he has a larger version of the photo that may answer your question.

  Simeon has sent me the scans and it seems to be the DY one with ram in between.
