30/09/1949 Brighton Works Latest 'Pacific's' in the new green livery with the crest on the tender are: Nos. 34091 Weymouth and 34092 Wells. Under construction are: Nos. 34093/94/96/98 and 'Leader' Class Nos. 36002/03. 'AlX' No. 32662 left Works on 12/9 painted black and fully lined. One of the Vulcan goods tenders was lined out but the lining has since been painted over.
