| A nice day spent at the Tyseley locomotive works in Birmingham, with the naming of 47580 being one of the main highlights.
The Open Day was to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the opening of Tyseley by the then GWR. Afterwards a little jolly over to Bescot to get 37401 A big well done to all those who made it possible |
The Stratford 47 Group chief speaks about the naming of 47580 prior to renaming by Alan Maynard. 47580 is based on of the 47's that was based at Stratford Depot in years gone by 800x600 zTom Bevan.jpg |
