47500 passes Compton Beauchamp on 22 August 2011 with the 5Z94 09:18 Bristol Temple Meads to Southall ECS. This is the stock off the previous day's 'Weymouth Seaside Express' steam special. Although it doesn't look too bad in the sun, this sludge brown livery is not what 47500 should be painted in at all. It should of course by rights be wearing GW150 green, in which it looked superb. This livery is claimed to be maroon, but that's the colour of the coaches behind - no comparison! |
