    As the author of the original article in Rail express I can assure you that 27024 was photographed but is far from the few that were not if you follow me.
    I'm trying to get a shot of every green TOPS loco but I'm missing a few after all this time.
    Got at least two of 27024 though.
    31294 anyone?

    My mate has a picture of 31294 at Exeter St Davids on 23Jun75. Unfortunately it was in blue by then.

    I've realised my search of my slide index was incomplete. I also took photos of the following with TOPS numbers which were still in green livery (Pre-tops numbers in brackets):

    06001 (2413) 47362 (1881) 40183 (383) 40169 (369) 47527 (1110) 40199 (399) 40035 (235 APAPA) 47227 (1903) 47033 (1613) 40052 (252) 08876 (4044) 47206 (1856) 37230 (6930) 47094 (1680) and 47256 (1934). The last one was taken on 26Jan77.

     

    I realise the OP was asking about sitings of 27024 in green, so my additional info is unsolicited. Still, I hope someone finds it useful. This conversation is exactly the reason I share my photos - to stir up memories from the time.

    Years ago Rail magazine had an article regarding all the diesels that got TOPS numbers whilst still wearing green, 27024 was listed. However it's one of the few that seems never to have been photograped, it was certainly still in plain green in mid '73 . As the loco has been preserved picture searhing throws up plenty of recent photographs but few from the era so can anyone help?

    Flickr picture dated July '73,

    28Jul73. Railrover trip. Eastfield. Class 27 D5370. [Slide_0263]This picture was taken by me (I am MrDeltic on Flickr). Being from Yorkshire it was a treat to see some Scottish exotica such as the BRCW Type 2's. Unfortunately I never came across 5370 again in any guise. I saw a few shunters in green with TOPS numbers, and have photos of a few Class 47's, namely: 47121 47182 47494 47152 47138 47264 47358 and 47364 (in old money: 1710 1777 1936 1745 1730 1964 1877 and 1883).

    I am currently uploading my railway slides taken up to 1977, so most of these photos are not yet shared.
