This loco is a top drawer attraction for British rail enthusiasts since being re-painted into the popular Large Logo Blue Livery for Doncaster Works Open Weekend 2003. 47635 or 'The Lass' as she is refered to in reports is seen here at Pudding Mill Bow E.London in early January 2004 about to depart with the Plasmor return empties to Peterborough...a rare turn for a class 47. Since this picture was taken 47635 has been withdrawn from traffic as part of the EWS run down of its class 47 fleet. We hear it may have a secure future in preservation...would prefer to see it out on the main line though!
