Good video, I have worked on a lot of the locos shown in South Wales, I was based at Canton

[@ClydebridgeStation]

Just wanted to say firstly, I loved this, as the 47 is my favourite loco, and is the only mainline loco on my layout. I have 19 of them! In this video, we saw 47569 in Parcels red and grey, and she's on my layout in those colours, as is 47712. A rare shot of her hauling a parcels train in parcels livery at Cheltenham! 47701, in Scotrail livery, but with the Scotrail branding painted out, is at Clydebridge, but in NSE livery, with the name "Old Oak Common traction and rolling stock depot". 47475 appears on my layout, in the unique Trans Pennine livery. She was moved to parcels in October 1990, but didn't get the RES livery, which you caught her in, until 1992. Lastly, not on my layout, but 47643 is preserved, in red stripe Scotrail livery, at the Boness and Kinneil Railway.
Check out some of my videos, and see what locos I have that are your favourites!

anyone else noted the bodyside door on 524 (? ) at York...?

[@richardharvey7208]

Hi Richard do you mean 47542 she had her main right side door damaged, interestingly 3/89 had a collision with an 08 shutter and wrecked that side on ,at Stratford TMD ,deemed to expensive to repair and was scrapped not a lucky loco! Best regards Richard
