For the real enthusiast, which name was carried by two different Brush 4's, D1671 and then D1677 in the 60s'?

Bum!! I was about to say 'Thor' but it has already been written down below (above).

47846 was always a favourite you see (and now its a class 57).

D1663 47078, 47628 Sir Daniel Gooch

Withdrawn from service in 98

Demelza... well, that that is just a bit after my 'time'. Also, 47749 was named 'Resplendent' as a 47/6 from 1991 - 1995.

57308 is 'Tin Tin' seemingly, although it is one of the Virgin 'Thunderbird' locos though.

How can it be after your time, if you're still here?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

47079 George Jackson Churchward has eventually become 57009.

After I stopped spotting/giving a s**t!

Must lead to a funny walking style.

But D1663 and D1665 - 75 seem to have been scrapped.

Showing as withdrawn on one, scrapped at a later date on the other.
