The NLR has done a super job repainting a very sad looking 47305 (or 47395 as in this view) that arrived on the railway a few years ago. In its mainline career, it only carried this number for just over a year in 1994/5 when it was adapted with jumper connections to tow the brand new Class 92s from the Channel Tunnel through Kent to the 25kv overhead wired territory as they took some time to be certified to run using the third rail.
