47514_1978_05_Attenborough_A3_800dpi

            Around 7 o’clock in the evening there was a working from the Nottingham Freightliner terminal at Beeston to Darlington where the train was split into Coatbridge, Edinburgh and Newcastle portions. This working was usually a Toton Class 45/0 duty however on the 25th May 1978 it is being worked by Toton’s one and only ETH fitted Class 47, namely 47514.

In the 1970’s whilst Toton was the home of all fifty of the ETH fitted Class 45/1 Peaks it had few ETH fitted Class 47’s on its books.47514 was the one and only long term resident (1973 – 79) with 47427 (1973/74), 47434 (1974/75), 47480 (1973/74/79) and 47532 (1979) having brief spells.

Also of note are the “open” containers, a feature of freightliner trains in the early years.

Locomotive History
47514 was originally D1960 and it was the penultimate class 47 to be built at the Brush Falcon works at Loughborough. It entered traffic as late as July 1967, allocated to Crewe and was one of nine class 47’s (D1953 – D1961) delivered in corporate blue livery. Apart from the original batch of twenty class 47’s (D1500 – D1519) it was (along with D1961) one of only two other class 47’s fitted from new with electric train heating equipment. After five years allocated to Crewe 1960 (47514) transferred to Toton where it would remain until in January 1979 it transferred to Scotland (Haymarket) for 100mph push pull Glasgow – Edinburgh duties. For these duties it was one of seventeen (47701 – 47717) class 47/4's equipped with RCH remote control equipment with 47514 becoming 47703 in March 1979. These duties were taken over by DMU’s in 1990 and 47703 was transferred to Crewe in the November of that year. In July 1991 it transferred to Old Oak Common for Network South East passenger duties which it undertook for the next two years until transferred back to Crewe in July 1993. In 1995 it was sold to Waterman Railways who later sold it to Fragonset Railways in 1997. It was withdrawn in December 2007 and after a period of uncertainty was used on the Wensleydale Railway After a period stored at Burton it is currently (February 2021) at Doncaster Wabtec on hire from HNRC for coaching stock electric train heating testing.
