It's been renumbered from D1935 to 47257/650/805 and repainted a few times. Since becoming 47805, it has carried seven paint schemes and five names! Is this a record? 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a record? .... but still sports a cab roof mounted NRN antenna, which ceased to be a working system nearly 6 years ago! Very nice photo by the way. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bashing was all about. You didn’t know what would appear; no sectorisation so a loco could work a freight then straight onto a passenger train. When it became same old, same old is when I lost interest in haulage. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the photo for the Flickr description - says it was on the 08.41 Reading - New Street. Photo also appears at class47.co.uk with extra info on the loco: http://www.class47.co.uk/c47_zoom_v3x.php?img=0279020005000 A Google search gives 1V73 (late '60s/early '70s) as 9am-ish Liverpool-Plymouth. The only example of 1V73 in 1975 I could find is another northbound service (so blinds not changed again?). 47136 on 08.05 Padd-Worcester Shrub Hill (via BNS): Richard Davies on Flickr 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
