LPPC DSL BW 0992 Old Oak Common turntable in 1971 and the accident-damaged front corner of a down-at-heel Hymek fronts an exceptionally well-kept Warship Class 42 number 821 ‘Greyhound’, later to be adopted by preservationists, whilst a Brush Type 4 Class 47 1639 awaits its next turn of duty in the background. The first Brush Type 4 Class 47s to be allocated to OOC started to arrive during the winter of 1963/4 to take over the Birkenhead services from the Westerns and were thus forced to share the original Churchward quadruple turntable shed with the steam allocation.
