Swanage Railway Diesel Gala, 12th May 2023 Part 3: 47830 'BEECHING'S LEGACY'

A locomotive leading something of a charmed life, currently mostly working driver trainers for Freightliner, although it seems not to have moved from Maritime since it returned from Swanage.

47830 was new on 24th December 1965 from BR Crewe. Seen on the blocks of platform 1 in Swaange.
