Bulleid Q1: Filth!

It's time to see the Q1 in possibly it's most famous livery - a light coat of BR paint covered in official southern British dirt and neglect, finished off with some priming residue and a lot of misplaced oil.

33017, fitted with the unusual dual mechanical lubricator, starting the days work still wearing it's pre-1956 logo on the tender but this could be almost any time as repainting these work horses was never a priority.

And 33001 at the end of a day's shift in 1961, showing an H head code it's heading back to Feltham yard to be cleaned out before starting another day of heavy freight duty.
