| Additional Notes |
Built as 56047, later renumbered 54047 to avoid clash with Class 56 locos on TOPS. P Strathspey Railway. Paired with Sc52008 (qv) and operating Saturday services when seen 06/98 - but replaced in that pairing by 52030 (qv) by Autumn 2000 and so released for overhaul. 01/25: moved from Strathspey Railway to Swindon and Cricklade Railway. |
