D1755 (47773) passes Lyneham on 3 October 2015 with the Vintage Trains 1Z96 15:54 Oxford to Tyseley 'Cotswold Explorer' railtour. The immaculate Class 47 was deputising for the unavailable GWR Hall Class 4-6-0 4965 Rood Ashton Hall. Although I remember seeing two tone green 47s on the Cotswold Line in the early 1970s, that was before I had a decent camera, so this was definitely not one to miss. Although the train passed in hazy sunshine, typically soon afterwards the sun dropped out of a band of cloud, and stayed out for the rest of the evening.
