47077, unidentified up working, Limpley Stoke A smart looking 47077 'North Star' passes the old station building at Limpley Stoke deep in the Avon valley. Close examination of the locomotive reveals that it is carrying its GWR style plates as worn by a small number of the class. Note the odd white circles applied to the front of the loco. If anybody can advise as to what the purpose of these were, that were also seen on some other class 47s at this time, please let me know. 47060 is still with us today preserved on the West Somerset Railway as D1661. It also has little bit of celebrity status as being the locomotive, along with 47847, that hauled the final locomotive hauled service train from Penzance in August 2002, the 08:46 1M56 to Manchester Piccadilly.
