Kings Cross refueling point in June 1970. Two very shiny class 47/4 locos. 1515 on the left became 47416 and 1552 became 47436 in the 1974 renumbering and they carried these numbers until scrapped. Photo by Michael Taylor (mtaylor6@home.com) Website www.members.home.net/mtaylor6

Class 47/4 in two tone BR Green. Brush type 4 1592 which was later renumbered 47544 with a down Plymouth District express passes Southall MPD on a Saturday morning in June 1972. A Mark I full brake (BG) was marshalled next to the engine and the next two carriages are early Mark II TSOs. I was spending the last few hours photographing trains before catching an Air Canada flight home. Notice the AEC (Home of London's Buses) sign and factory just above the locomotive.

EWS Class 47/4. EWS's Component Recovery & Distribution Centre at Wigan has become the final resting place for many redundant locomotives. All locomotives that arrive here are destined for stripping of all reusable components, many of which are now obsolete and are costly and/or hard to obtain. These components are then distributed around to be reused on other sevicable examples in order to keep them going. In this view of 47467 which had arrived here on the 12th December 1998, shows the bodyshell removed from it's bogies and dumped on a wagon at Wigan CR&DC on 14th August 1999.

Large Logo 47413 has just brought this non-working DMU into Leeds on a local service. A number of unit failures had resulted in locos being brought in to run the trains using the units as coaches. The year is probably 1989. Photo from James & Martin's Picture Collection Copyright 'Jampics' m.hawkes7@ntlworld.com
