Part 2 (August - December)

47316 calls at Wakefield Westgate with 1L17 1135 Sheffield - Leeds, a portion off 1E54 0650 Paddington - Hull. The loco had earlier worked 1V74 0828 Leeds - Cardiff as far as Sheffield, but was unusually then swapped with the '31' off the 'Hull' portion (02/08/1985)

47373 is pictured at Sheffield later that afternoon wih 1E92 1100 PLymouth - York relief. The loco retained its experimental orange warning light on the cab roof at the time, but it's unfortunately just out of view in this shot (02/08/1985)

A loco that was clearly too big for my camera's view-finder, 47302 pauses at Peterborough with the 14-coach 1P38 0855 Newcastle - Yarmouth (03/08/1985)

Stratford's 47596 'Aldeburgh Festival' is seen at Leicester later that afternoon with 1M67 1042 Yarmouth - Birmingham (03/08/1985)

47015 awaits departure from Derby with the 1V32 1032 York - Penzance relief (05/08/1985)

47117 waits to depart from Glasgow Queen Street with 1H09 1005 Glasgow Queen Street - Inverness (17/08/1985)

An hour or so later 47117 is pictured again as it storms away from Perth with 1H09 (17/08/1985)

47710 'Sir Walter Scott' awaits departure from Edinburgh Waverley with 1O76 2300 to Glasgow Queen Street (19/08/1985)

47269 departs from Forres with 1A46 0832 Inverness - Aberdeen (20/08/1985)

47715 was named 'Haymarket' during the event, and the immaculate '47/7' basks in the afternoon sunshine a couple of hours after the ceremony (24/08/1985)

47007 heads north through Sandwell & Dudley on an unknown light loco move (27/08/1985)

47288 arrives at Rotherham with 1M84 1405 Scarborough - Nottingham (31/08/1985)

47628 'Sir Daniel Gooch' is pictured on arrival at Kings Cross with 1A31 0755 ex-Leeds (02/09/1985)

Not the best of photos but it depicts my only run behind Stratford's 47121. The loco is seen at Cambridge after working 1H28 1605 from Liverpool Street (02/09/1985)

47350 waits to depart from Sheffield with 1E14 1025 Portsmouth Harbour - Leeds (07/09/1985)

47235 calls at Sheffield later that afternoon with 1E22 1005 Newquay - Newcastle (07/09/1985)

My last of four new '47s' for the day, 47320 catches the last of the daylight before departing Sheffield with 1M74 1410 Yarmouth - Manchester (07/09/1985)

47159 calls at Doncaster with 1D20 0850 Leeds - Skegness (14/09/1985)

The first '47' out-shopped in the new 'Railfreight' livery, 47050 is pictured on arrival at Leeds with 1E74 1405 Liverpool - Scarborough (28/09/1985)

Another view of 47050 departing Leeds with 1E74. This version of livery was somewhat non-standard when compared with later examples in terms of font size, the lack of wrap-around black cab window surrounds and omission of the 'Railfreight' logos (28/09/1985)
