47636 Restored approaches Water Orton on 2 April 1994 with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z46 06:15 Bristol Temple Meads to London (via the world!) 'Sector Swansong' railtour. This mega tour, the like of which is totally impossible today, featured 14 different locomotives, from Classes 47, 86, 31, 33, 58, 60, 56, 20 & 37! 47636 is carrying a slightly ironic name here, as it didn't end up being restored, but was withdrawn by EWS in 2000, and cut up four years later. |
