The Queen Mother on the Cotswold Line! One of the joys of photographing trains on the Cotswold Line in the 1980s was not only the predominance of Class 50s, but the fact that all kinds of unusual Class 47s could turn up. I was a bit surprised to see Scottish snowplough fitted 47541 The Queen Mother on the 1C48 16:10 Paddington to Hereford service on 29 May 1983, and it was well worth photographing it as it passed Chilson, despite the awful weather.
