There have been a number of items of uniform offered on eBay
recently, including three different styles of cap each with a Burlington Route
herald sewn on the front of the crown, and twin braided cords between the badge
and the peak.
The first cap was royal blue with a plain brim of the same material as the
crown with a conductor’s badge
The second was royal blue with a band of black interwoven plastic strips around
the brim but with no badge (sold separately?)
The third was sky blue with a plain band and a conductor’s badge.
Were these caps from different eras, and were there different
fabric colours as opposed to different lighting for the photos?
There was also a trainman’s cap which appeared to be a black material.
Were these a different colour?
