I've now posted the promised pics of the Standard Stock (class 485) on
the
island. Also a couple of shots of the 1938 stock in Network South
East
livery.

Doh! That should be:

Thanks Graeme - 3rd try lucky

The links worked this time.

Out of all of them, I reckon the BR NSE livey worked the best. Now, did you
ever get the 485/6s in BR NSE livery? My day out at the IoW was on a Network
Day - 3 Quid for the entire NSE on a Sunday - a few IC125s excepted - that'd
make a TOC blanche. And I'm pretty sure the Standard stock cars were in the
current NSE livery.

Unfortunately not, despite living just over the water I seldom made a trip to
the island for leisure purposes and business trips were always into Cowes.

Never seen any pictures like that.

later, so no - I didn't snap any either, drat!! -

The Standard stock was used with NSE livery, I'm sure. I don't have a
photo handy as it will be on paper and I'm not at home now.

Only this one is in NSE livery, of course. Apart from the paintwork, other
changes were the sealing up of cab doors and other front end changes.

Thanks Colin. I realise there was only one shot of the Standard stock
in NSE, but thought the other photos were also worth linking to for
general interest.

I don't recall the solid yellow front, and the Island outline/Ryde rail logo
from my visit. Anyone know whether this is a Mk II NSE treatment? Now wish
I'd bought a camera back then -

It is quite possibly a later treatment, because the blue stripe over the
windows is the later, darker NSE shade. If there was an earlier NSE
treatment, the blue would have been much lighter and the white and red
stripes under the windows would have swept up sharply at the unit ends.
Do you recall that?

I have no recollection of either of these liveries as my first ever
visit to the IOW - apart from a brief return trip on the hovercraft from
Southsea - was to travel on the Class 483 1938 stock. The Class 485/6
Standard stock was still on the Island in the livery shown on the photo,
but in quite a tatty state.

Yes, I'm getting old, eh?

The MkII NSE form isn't as pleasing to the eye, which might explain why the
current 483 presentation hasn't raised so many hackles.
