The night before.... 47 420 at Edinburgh Waverley.
Generator 47 420 sits at Edinburgh Waverley on a Saturday night with 1C97 the 23.40 Edinburgh Waverley to Carstairs. This train was a 7 coach sleeper and seating portion for attachment to 1V61 23.55 Glasgow Central to Bristol Temple Meads at Carstairs.
(Not a quality image sadly as it was taken on Perutz CT100 slide film when night photography had a certain element of guess work, although I noted time exposures for night shots so I could go longer or shorter if replicated at a later date you then had to wait until the film was developed to see if you had got something usable or not. Oh for digital back then when you can now simply look at the image taken immediately ).
