Although naturally most of the special trains organised by BR to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Great Western Railway used GWR steam locos, some use was made of the diesel locos that had been painted into 'GW150 Green' livery. 47500 Great Western is seen here passing through Bedwyn station on a very gloomy 8 September 1985 with the 1Z47 09:15 Paddington to Plymouth 'Great Western Limited' GWR 150 special.
