British Rail Class 48

[1] After conversion to Class 47s, they moved to Stratford depot, in East London, until they were displaced by examples fitted with electric train heating equipment.

D1702 was the first to be so treated at Crewe Works, using parts from D1908 which had been withdrawn after a serious accident; it emerged back into service in December 1969.

[3] The locomotives continued in service for many years afterwards and were renumbered 47114-47118 to conform with British Rail's TOPS system in the early 1970s.

Engine 47 117 (D1705) was subsequently bought for preservation by rail enthusiast and pop music producer Pete Waterman.

[4] At the GCR, it has been restored to BR two-tone green livery with its pre-TOPS number D1705, though it retains its Class 47 engine.
