Pete 75C Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Do my eyes deceive me or does it say "oops" on the side!! Jim It certainly does. Whoever rerailed it or the Tinsley staff have a sense of humour... Edit: from memory, 47288 was never repaired and scrapped a couple of years later.

jonny777 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yes, maybe you are right. I am a little early with my guess in that case. Perhaps 1990? It couldn't be much later as the units were withdrawn to have their doors fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
