47344 Goring 13 September 1986

47344 passes Goring on 13 September 1986 with the 1C18 08:30 Paddington to Weston-super-Mare HST replacement service. A rare chance for some top link passenger work for the nominally freight only 47/3! In order to power the Mk 3 HST coaches, converted Mk 1 generator coach ADB975325 is coupled next to the locomotive. The two rusty silencers for the internal diesel engine can clearly be seen in the roof. The train later worked back to the capital as the 1A37 11:05 Weston-super-Mare to Paddington.
