I know that 47342 got a No 1 end flush front cab in the early 1980s. Does anyone know what happened to it and when? The Class 47 Preservation Project Archive recently acquired a picture of it undergoing repairs at Crewe following the accident and the picture is earmarked for a forthcoming Class 47 publication I am working on.

Best wishes

It looks like a non standard light fitting was first applied

A standard flush end was fitted later, stated as May 1985 in a previous magazine article on flush ends.
