A two-tone green ‘no heat’ 47 on a passenger working - always more common in the Summer, especially at the weekend - but a nice capture. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not come off Dave , just sat on the tracks in Arpley Yard Warrington with bogies well hidden behind a 'Grassy knoll' having shunted a few HAA's. Some more from my travels. Wonder if the idiot sat beside the WCML in the first pic' is still a spotter....or even still alive with antics like this. 14 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A SF white roof in 1972! Looking at that photo merely confirms that you can't rely on photos for colour matching - only the real thing can do that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is going on with that headcode panel, wondering if its stickers or actually none standard blinds . A bit like my OCD for car reg fonts the digits in headcode panels can ruin a model or a restoration job 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like my OCD for car reg fonts the digits in headcode panels can ruin a model or a restoration job If you look at it closely Russ you can see a black vinyl sheet has been applied over the glass with four Tops style '0's on as well, probably due to the blinds being damaged behind the glass, not that they were in use after 1st January '76. A few other 47s were so treated too. Edited January 31, 2020 by Rugd1022 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted February 3, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2020 Great photos Nidge, especially the 47 passing you on the approach to Reading. But I'm intrigued by the Class 08 (presumably) behind 1944 in the last photo, with the H of BRITISH cover by the early emblem. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
