Sitting It Out

Crewe Diesel Preservation Group's Class 47/7, 47712 "Lady Diana Spencer" sits it out on the rear of Statesman Rail's Settle & Carlisle circular as it roars through Hartford as 1Z60.

 

47712, on long-term hire to Locomotive Services Limited, was leading the railtour from Wolverhampton with LSL's Class 47, 47805 / D1935 "Roger Hosking MA 1925-2013" tucked inside working in multiple with it.

 

However after a technical issue, 47712 had to be run round at Crewe, leaving 47805 to take The Statesman north solo whilst 47712 provided moral support from the rear.
