40027, 47708 & 47204, undergoing repairs, Crewe Works In my notes, I have this down as 40027 formally named 'Parthia' at Crewe Works. Indeed, it was at the works during this time having arrived on 10.05.79 after sustaining accident damage. But, in this image, it looks like it is undergoing an overhaul rather than having accident damage rectified. However, a close examination of the bodyside reveals the rivets clearly in place that would have held the nameplate and crest so it was one of the named class 40s. Of the twenty-four named examples, 40027 was one of the three on the works during this time so it could be as per my original notes....can anybody help? Behind the 40 is a silver-roofed 47 that I have in my notes as 47708 'Waverley' and on the far side 47204, a local Crewe Diesel locomotive.
