The_Mayflower_06_Clun_Castle_cabside_plates A GWR tradition was to 
display a stainless steel plate on the cabside of steam passenger 
locomotives, bearing the driver's name. The tradition was continued for 
the Mayflower with No.7029 bearing the plate of driver A.C.TAYLOR, of 
Rugby depot. The picture also shows the GWR's passenger locomotive paint 
scheme of Brunswick Green with lining-out in Black and Orange. The 
painted red disc with letter D inside indicates the engine's route 
availability for weight and power rating. The disc shows the engine has 
an axle loading of up to 20 tons, while the D tells it has a 
power-output of 25001 - 33000 lbs (111.2 to 146.8 kN) tractive effort 
(actually 31625 lbs). roger.griffiths@hotmail.com
