In its British Railways and BR days, 47787 was shedded at various depots in the east and the north never being a locomotive that I spotted back in the 70s and 80s. In 1989 it was fitted with long-range fuel tanks and joined the dedicated InterCity pool. After some time with the now-defunct Riviera Trains, it joined GBR and has now ended up at UKRL's depot at Leicester awaiting some time and attention!
