RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted December 4, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 4, 2018 The loco could be 47114John 47114 certainly had the black headcode panel, but every photo I can find if it has the number 114 on the front to the right of the headlight, from when it gained RfD diamonds (1994?) to gaining the m.u. socket (1996).

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted December 4, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 4, 2018 47201 fits the bill in terms of black headcode, no number on the cab from (at least from the early 1990s) and faded rfd livery. This picture is dated 1996, so distinctly possible. https://www.railpicsgb.uk/p601339499/h970c623b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another namer 47 348 on Warrington Bank Quay station in 1995. Unknown number. Fitted with a proper name plate this time.(Memory says its 'Tamer') Westbury Station June 1989.

Owd Bob Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Is the Tinsley 47, 47217 Kingfisher? Simon It looks like it just might be 217, i've blown it up best i can and i can just see a 17 at the end. Another unknown 47 from Warrington on the Sunday drags by the look of it. The one Yellow painted head code box light surround might make it identifiable? Edited December 8, 2018 by Owd Bob 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 65179 Posted December 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) I had a feeling Owd Bob's Westbury 47 must be identifiable: https://www.flickr.com/photos/the-evanses/29095495501 I think 47627 City of Oxford fits the bill based on front wear and tear and shape of name.

Owd Bob Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Dover June 1994. Looking very smart with its Red painted name and Shed plate is 47 186, 47 147 is in the usual tatty fading state. Both seemed far from their home depot at the time....like i was! 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Dover June 1994. ... far from their home depot at the time....like i was! Dover saw 47s from all over on ferry traffic, I suspect because the SR didn't have an allocation of their own at that period. Some time or other, I'll have to dig out a list of what I spotted on Kentish ferry wagon traffic in the early 80s and look up their allocations. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course on the floor above it was the salaried staff canteen, same kitchen joined by a small service lift, but they didn't have plastic seats up there. Memories of my time on Padd ODM......

RMweb Premium 65179 Posted December 18, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2018 47573 would have become 47762 by that 1995 date and it seems to have lost the name shown in late 1991. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
