The original ETS fitted 'generator' Class 47s were never common on the Cotswold Line, but they did make the occasional appearance in the 1980s. On 2 March 1985, 47413 passes Chilson with the 1A73 07:05 Hereford to Paddington service. 47413 was withdrawn in 1991, and after languishing at various locations in the north east, it was cut up in 1995 after yielding various spare parts for the Waterman Railways Class 47 fleet.
