I think you mean 47714. 47814 was "Totnes Castle" which was converted to a Virgin 57 at the end of 47's on XC's...

Thanks for all the kind comments.
I have updated the website in the last few days with a few more photos....

For anyone interested I have set up another fotopic site at http://www.class87.fotopic.net/ and has at least 4 photos of every 87/0 and over 220 photos in total...

I'm just dreading the last day 37's and 47's run on the rail network :cry: I thought the 47's bowed out back in August 2001! Where to mark the last day of them running, a number of different liveried 47's were running including BR Blue, BR Green, and Police livery. You mean the 19th August 2002 how...

I for one enjoy my photography, and do try different locations frequently, even if they are more local and on the SWT network, but i am more than willing to pop off to another area, such as the GWML, Didcot has my interest at the moment. Didcot's one of my fave locations aswell.. bet it isn't what ...

A one way trip to a scrap yard would be better

From the new timetable Virgin are going to be hiring EWS 90's to replace the last of the 87's. This Fridays Virgin are running an 87 on the 09:38 Euston - Manchester and return ECS and on Saturday there going to be two return trips to Preston. Saturdays Preston 87 hauled trains: London 07:13 Watford...

If you want to see a totally different selection of trains try Birmingham New Street or Manchester Picadilly...

Exactly. Most 14 years olds use phones a lot, and seeing as my phone has a camera feature... I'm not a serious train spotter, I travel around a lot, so instead of hanging around waiting for a train, I take pictures and videos instead. Well I was using a proper camera from the age of 8 and if your n...
