NSE coaches outside of NSE area

[tiger]

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.

Hi guys,

 

I purchased a Bachmann 47612 "Titan" last year, and was doing a Google image search to see up until when it wore this livery (can't find any more photos after 1989, but that's fine for my purposes). Anyway, I found this photo below of it at Sheffield in 1987 with a rake of NSE coaches. Many thanks to the photo taker:

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
