That is 47292....a class 47 diesel loco.

Got to drive her from Loughborough to Ruddington and then back into the siding.....including 3 or 4 full power stints! (and some micro wheel spin!)

A train spotter I am not.....I am more interested in working on them and having the odd drive.

Anyway, an anorak would get filthy!

No but I know someone who missed riding in an HST at 148.5mph because it was his day off (he worked for SIG) and they set a new Diesel speed record - I had great fun then!

A friend of mine was a part owner of a 50, and I used to be a member of a group who bought some 55s, as another 55 owning group said 47s make good test loads and you have to be carefull when towing them over 100mph as you can break them ;D ;D

If me - not jealous - was involved in preservation big time pre marriage, was involved in rolling stock restoration.

47s are OK, but I am a big EE fan, also a Swindon fan, got a signed print by a very famous 9F owner as well :y :y

Also Mark now has a mummybus ;D ;D ;D ;D

It is OK we have a couple of 47s and a couple of 37s, the 37s sound nice. But I still like the Hall and the 9F.
