Hi,

If anyone has a platform 5 or whatever it was called then, I’d be grateful to know what they had in the various pools, esp the engineers pools from those times.

 

Thanks in advance if anyone can help

 

Cheers

Rob

Spring 1993

As per Summer / Autumn 1992

 

Summer / Autumn 1993

004, 016, 019, 105, 108, 121, 358, 484

 

Pool IGJO - Infrastructure GWML

According to the Summer / Autumn 1994 book there were no 47s at OC.  A closer look at that book indicates that the Spring 1994 locos were based at SF, along with some others, and were used on restricted workings.
