Where would you recommend seeing it? At least at Victoria, I'm guaranteed to get a good pic of the front of it (static). But at Bromley, it's more likely that the driver would thrash the loco . Decisions, desicions.

Climbing the bank out of Folkstone Harbour!

Dont gurantee any thrash last time it went outta KX there was nothing!

 

[RJ]

But there is a lot of pointwork and whatnot at KX . Bromley it is

 

[jonb]

So what? Does'nt mean the drivers going to give it full throttle just because theres no serious speed restrictions...

 

[RJ]

Perhaps not, but I think Bromley will be better anyway

Sorry I missed that. Ha ha ha I've just copped a third 47 today. Clapham to Derby I reckon. Those on the route beyond Willesden, go get it! Meanwhile, I'm heading to Vic to see the Pullman

Clapham to Derby I reckon.

Nothing in the system about that what 47 was it?

 

[RJ]

It was 47145 hauling 33103 and a Frag 31, possibly 604. I saw the 47 poking out of Clapham Yard whilst on the Voyager. Delays meant that I missed a 313 back to Clapham, but it was well worth it when 47145 came storming through KO with the two locos in tow. Clag was profuse to say the least!
Went through KO at 16:07.
As for 47712, they was a good deal of smog-hard to judge as it was dark.
