Its pouring with rain but my lad is still out there vith the video to capture Fragonset's 47355 approaching Cricklewood Station, this time full of railway personnel enjoying a loco hauled run to Derby. The train was top-n-tailed throughout and the Peak 45112 can still be seen on the back. The date is April 8th 2004.

We have only had the briefest opportunity to see Fragonset's 47355 'Avocet' which up to now has been their only class 47 in this livery. The loco is seen Derby bound with a special that included 45112 at Cricklewood Station on April 8th 2004.

A rare visitor to these parts has been Fragonset's 47355 'Avocet' but during a few days in July it did the Ipswich to Cardiff Wentloog Freightliner and return. An outward journey is seen here at Stratford E.London on the evening of 9th July 2003. Photo from James & Martin's Picture Collection Copyright 'Jampics' m.hawkes7@ntlworld.com

Now here is a train you will almost certainly never see again! Fragonsets 47355 leads newly restored 73107 along with all the remaining SR Bulleid departmental de-icer/sandite units to Immingham for storage and presumably scrapping. The date is the 9th September 2004 and the place Brondesbury Park on the North London Line.
