Note.

Keith didn't record the loco number in his written notes but the identity of this loco has been deduced from examining the original negative at a larger magnification and cross referencing it with contemporary images of 47 409 circa 1982. The image was taken between 1st - 8th June 1982.

Class 47's 47636 and 47557 trundle past the recently demolished carriage sheds at Orpington, working down to Tonbridge to work evening mail trains having been refuelled at Hither Green. 25 August 1992.

In April 1974 I bought an Olympus Trip 35 to keep in the car, this was one of the negatives from that test film, others will appear!

We were on a Sunday drive to visit Market Harborough and standing in the station was this green class 47. As I got out of the car the driver gave the loco some beans and we got this nice cloud of clag.

I never got the number but at last the mystery is solved thanks to Flickr folk (see below) it is 47 201
