Reposting these as they were lost with the site issues. Thanks to Brushman and Tiger for identifying 47413 and Slough.

 

These are at Reading during the early 80's, 472xx on the Tarmac PGA's, 47413 in the centre road. Possibly 02/07/1986.

Also Reading, notice the cloud of fumes from the DMU departing west! 47519 on parcels, large logo 47413 in centre road.

No idea but I think WCML - note "Happy Hut" - anyone recall where that was/is?Untitled(7).jpg.545b2b6b9a34999e521ba30055166b0b.jpg

 

 

Possibly York?Untitled(18).jpg.9e837a1685968e05a8fe8513ced03675.jpg

Great pics, thanks for sharing.
 

I reckon the UID large logo 47 might be 47413 - the digit after the “7” in the number looks more like a 4 than anything else, and the ETH connector is on the buffer beam, which was unique to the “generator” series locos 47401-47420. Not many of that series gained large logo and the only one I can find with a plated headcode panel at number 1 end is 47413:

Cheers, Tom.

I should say you're correct. By Owen Williams, taken on 2.7.86 - same place, same rubbish...
