Trbwnegs683 D1599 on 1A06 Reading

Thought to be C1964/5, location is Reading (thanks for confirming Ian).

We have D1599 which was a western loco, working the 1A06 service with a steam loco in the siding before the station and a DMU partially poking out behind the Class 47.

D1599 was new from Crewe Works to Landore in June 1964 and western region based until at least 1987. She became 47027 under tope and 47558 when eth was fitted in December 1980. Withdrawl was in March 2002 and she was cut up by EMR at Kingsbury in May 2007.
