On-shed at a sunny Westbury MPD are 47256 and 47124. I was really pleased to see 47256 for two reasons, firstly it was a cop form me and secondly, it was a celebrity loco. at this time as it was still in its green livery. In fact, it was the last of the class to be repainted into Rail Blue from green but this green was not its original paintwork as, surprisingly it was repainted following fire damage in 1974. Also in this picture are some of Westbury's resident fuel tankers used to replenish the locomotives that came on-shed. Also to the left is a snow plough that no doubt saw some use during the recent heavy snow that had crippled the railways a few weeks previously.
