47379-S242.jpg (102739 bytes)

EWS Class 47/3. EWS's Component Recovery & Distribution Centre at Wigan has become the final resting place for many redundant locomotives. All locomotives that arrive here are destined for stripping of all reusable components, many of which are now obsolete and are costly and/or hard to obtain. These components are then distributed around to be reused on other sevicable examples in order to keep them going. In this view of 47379 at Wigan CR&DC, a loco which had only just arrived here on 2nd August 1999, shows most major compontents having already removed and one side of the bodyshell cut away by the time this picture was shot on 14th August 1999.

47356 is an example of where the original Railfreight Distribution Decals have been partly removed and become faded...quite a few locos ran in this condition. It is seen on a car train at Stratford in 1998. Photo from James & Martin's Picture Collection Copyright 'Jampics' m.hawkes7@ntlworld.com British and Foreign Railway Pictures Jampics Fotopic.
