47353 passes Compton Beauchamp on 15 December 1979 with the 3A02 08:15 Carmarthen to Reading parcels. This is one of the very pictures that I have of locomotives displaying four zeros in the headcode panel. This was the standard option after the use of headcodes on the front of trains was discontinued in 1976. The blinds were soon replaced by just a couple of white dots, which was becoming the norm by the time I took up photography. Apologies for the very poor quality of this image, but for me at least, it historically significant.
