Grizz Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I am looking for help to find photos of examples of BR Class 47s, with the Crewe Cut Cabs, that ran in Blue Large Logo Blue. But not 47847. I realise that if there were any they were probably very few and far between and they probably did run in Large Logo for long? Ultimately this is research to enable me to model just such a loco. Cheers in advance….. Grizz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jeremy Cumberland Posted February 23 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23 (edited) How about this one? Edit: Does it only have the mod at one end, though? I can't quite see. Edited February 23 by Jeremy Cumberland 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizz Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Just looked up 47473 on this site. It was a crash damage repair by the looks if it. As you say it is only Crewe Cut at one end. Might have been quite a rare occurrence within the fleet. http://www.class47.co.uk/c47_zoom_v3.php?img=0582020112000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I’ve looked at all the late lasting examples I can think of (the sleeper 67x ones and 635/640) and can’t see any but there were a lot of 47/8 still in LL when first renumbered so a lot for you to trawl through. Crash damaged repairs might throw up the odd one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraphim Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I'd never heard the term "Crewe Cut Cab" before - officially it was the Crib Rail mod. For the Porterbrook-owned 47/8 fleet, most were done at G exam in the mid to late 1990s, and were outshopped in either Exec livery or (later) Virgin.
