Class 47 (green), unidentified up working, Bristol Temple Meads station
Class 47 (green), unidentified up working, Bristol Temple Meads station You can see that this negative has been fogged, so I would not have bothered to scan it but for its rarity value. Firstly, the class 47 is in BR dual green, there were very few around by the summer of '77. Secondly, observant ones will notice that it's on one of Temple Meads' centre roads. My notes do not reveal the 47s number (arghhh!) or the working. Any information gratefully appreciated. Just a technical point. This negative was so bad when I first looked at it that it was never actually printed. The left hand side was so burnt out it showed no detail. it's amazing what careful scanning and use of Photoshop can do to what was, initially, a throw-away image by bringing back a lot of the hidden detail.
