tiger Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi all A few NSE-liveried Mk 2's were transferred to Scotland for the summer 1991 timetable for use on a peak-hour Fife Circle working. These were hauled by spare freight sector class 26 and 47 locomotives - although the use of Class 26s was quite short lived. Here is Eastfield depot's 47328 departing Edinburgh Waverley for Edinburgh Waverley via Dunfermline, Cowdenbeath, Cardenden and Kirkcaldy. The first coach is declassified Mk 2a BFK 17089, subsequently preserved: Hope this is of interest. Cheers, Tom. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I found this photo below of it at Sheffield in 1987 with a rake of NSE coaches. Many thanks to the photo taker: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackwatch55013/5544303705/in/photostream/lightbox/ Anyhow, was this a common occurrence? If so was there a dedicated set that served this purpose, or was it just a free-for-all? Many thanks in advance. I've just been looking through this thread for some info and found your post. 47612 was renumbered 47838 in 10/89 with livery change to I/C Swallow. Anyway here it is again hauling a rake of NSE Mk1s & Mk2s Photo (C) Iain Reid from Class 47 website http://www.class47.co.uk/c47_zoom_v3.php?img=0176020042000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
