Following on not far behind steamer 73096 is Fragonsets 47703 reminding us that 47s can be a little 'claggy' at times. It is not unusual for a diesel to follow a 'kettle' in case of any problems on route. We are not complaining...two for the price of one! In view of the fact that there have been one or two steam failures recently its a wise pre-caution. Pictured at Broxbourne on June 12th 2004.
