Don’t forget to take the pack-a-macs, it’s an English summer

as a period dated holiday train rolls into a miserable Sheffield Midland in August. Bedraggled and still wearing its original two-tone green livery Brush Type 4 Class 47 number 1865 (later 47215), which was an Immingham based loco, more used to dragging air-braked coal hauls every day, heads a remarkably smart set of Mark Ones hopefully to brighter climes. This loco seems to have suffered from collision damage to the front left hand side.
