Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Diesel Gala, 12th July 2024 1: 47105

While I had seen 47105 working as part of a rainy event in the 1996 period, in my more recent visits it had been under overhaul. Since 2020, back in operating condition.

47105 was new as D1693 on 6th December 1963, allocated to 82A Bristol Bath Road, and was withdrawn as 47105 on 13th December 1993, at 30 years and 7 days. Its second life has now exceeded that working for BR, following delivery to Toddington in April 1994.



47105 coupled up on the rear of a train operated by 37248, leaving Toddington for Broadway.



47105 is seen departing Toddington for Winchcombe and Cheltenham. Mid 1970s 'domino' headcode panel , but no headlight.


Now working from Cheltenham to Broadway, 47105 has come to a stand at Winchcombe.
