LPPC DSL BW 0630 Worcester loco depot – 85A - is busy in this scene, with a Brush Type 4 Class 47 (1647 - later 47063) flanked on both sides by Hymek Type 3 Class 35s. These latter capable and attractive locos ended their Class 1 days working trains on the London/Oxford/Hereford Cotswold Lines before final withdrawal. They were also adopted at this time as Lickey Incline bankers. If you substituted WR Castle and Hall 4-6-0s for the diesels, the scene would look much the same as the 1960s. Keywords: BR, Western, Worcester Shrub Hill, Depot, Shed, 85A, Hymek, Class 47, Class 35, 1647, 47063
