Hello, I am an Admin of a facebook group "Port Talbot Old and New" and would love to upload some of your images including Port Talbot onto our page for comment, would this be allowed?

If you have any additional images of Port Talbot, we'd love to have them!

Thanks,
Sean

Yes, it seems that the poster I quoted is the owner of the images, so I'm hoping for a reply from him!

Hopefully Byron (and any others who own the images.....) will get back to you soonest.

As in my initial reply, however, would ask that you either obtain them direct from Byron (or owner) or, if linking to them here, please use the info as per the guidelines at the top of the page viz. You are free to publish links back to OOF pages starting with http://www.omegaowners.com - directly linking to our pictures is expressly forbidden.

thanks for your understanding.   :y

Am I right in thinking a good result and the release of photo's..... :y

Byron, I will be going to a meeting in a couple of days, and I intend to give a young Man a link to this thread, not suggesting he joins the forum, just view this thread. He is highly intelligent ASD, Aspergers and locally knows all things buses, I am sure he will find this fantastic.... :y :y

He is a member of a 'committee' for want of a better name setting up a 'Travel Training / Road safety' project we have set up, initially for disabled people but rolled out to primary schools, we have a circuit with every possible bus stop and road crossing.... :) :)

Although a signwriter probably did the original artwork, this is actually a 'varnish-affixed' transfer that adorned LUT vehicles.
This type of motif was often referred to as a 'belt & buckle' or a 'garter'.

I used to watch our paintshop people soak 'em in a shallow tray of yacht varnish, and then gingerly position them on freshly-repainted buses.
Lacked the confidence to have a go meself! :D












Again, this one's actually a transfer that was affixed to Roe-bodied vehicles before they left the Leeds factory.

IIRC; these transfers were often manufactured/suppied by 'Eagle Quick-fix' - or similar! ;)



Gotcha confused Lizzie dear? ;D

Doubtless dictated by practical and financial constraints Lizzie .........

Imagine how many signwriters would be needed for Western Welsh's 500-strong fleet alone!

That said, these transfers were extremely durable :y

I know, the great steam workshops of the big four railways went the same way under British Railways.  Cheaper, quicker, and more efficient was the transfer version of the BR crest.  But gone was that lovely skill of painting on, applying, the crests and company names on the locomotives.:'( :'( :'( :'(

At least handpainting of the lining out did in fact continue 8-) 8-) 8-) :y

This is probably the best looking coach yet!! :-* :-* :-* :-*

An absolute beauty, and according to Byron no transfers on this one! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) :y :y




I wonder where the name "Economic" comes from?  I bet it does about 15 miles to the gallon at best; still that probably was ok for the 1950s! :D :D :D :D ;)
