47 486 at Dawlish. 28/10/1981.
47 486 pauses at Dawlish with 1E37 the 10.54 Paignton to Leeds City. A Bescot allocated machine at the time but an early ETH fitted withdrawal too as the loco caught fire in May 1987 and was deemed beyond economic repair being withdrawn on 06/07/1987. It was eventually consigned to Vic Berry's at Leicester and met its certain fate at the hands of the gas axe on 16/06/1989.
