Great shots especially the grey 86.
Any ideas though why the 321 in behind the 47 had it's trailer missing.

It would be useful if more of the shots were captioned, there's some useful reference material in your collections which no one will ever be abe to find. Shots like this are particulalry useful for modellers...

Cheers

The 47 was stabled there ready for thunderbird duties during the evening peak, it wasnt actually hocked up to the 321.

As for the 321, as far as I could tell, the driving trailer was over the road having some TLC, not sure on specifics though.
