LPPC DSL BW 0998 Original green and very early rail-blue liveries feature in this shot of locomotives at rest outside Old Oak Common ‘Factory’. The Brush Type 4 Class 47 number D1657 (later 47073/47537 and now still operational with West Coast Railways as 47772) is either waiting to go in for repair or has just received an exam and is awaiting return to service. It is in its original livery as applied at Crewe. Stored Hymek Class 35 D7006, one of the first two locomotives of the class withdrawn in September 1971, is very much in early condition with green superstructure and lime-green lower band, with only a small yellow warning panel on the cab front, the windows of which have the original grey painted surround. Left in the open outside on a dead-end siding It would seem that it does not have much more life stretching ahead of it. In contrast, shed pilot 350bhp diesel shunter Class 08 number D4003 (later 08835, then 09015)is in early rail blue with British Rail logo on the cab-side. Keywords: 1970, BR, Black and White, D1657, D4003, D7006, Factory, GWR, London, Old Oak Common, Shed
