  • 47270 = 0Z47 2032 Craigentinny-Lancaster.
  • 47712 = 0F03 0451 Crown Point-Colchester/ 0W03 1458 Colchester-Shenfield/ 0P86 1959 Shenfield-Norwich CP.
  • 47727 + 47739 = 0Z98 0415 Ashford-Dollands Moor/ 7Z98 0535 Dollands Moor-Dagenham.
  • 47832 = 0Z47 1000 Crewe Gresty Bridge-Worcester.


    30/10/09: 47812 leads a dead(?) 47769 through Upper Holloway on what I am presuming is 7Z98 Dollands Moor to Dagenham Dock on Friday morning. This appears to fill in a gap, as 47805 ended at Dagenham Dock on Thursday off 7Z98 and 769 had been left at Dollands Moor, all three had appeared at Dagenham Dock on Friday for 7Z81 back to Dollands Moor. Photos and sightings of any freight 47 workings are very welcome to sulzerpower@yahoo.co.uk.

  • The blue loco at Crewe Heritage Centre is indeed 47575, as at Friday it had not had fleetnumbers or other transfers applied. This is the loco's second repaint since finishing service with EWS in February 2001.
