Class 47 Action retrospective memories 1990 - 1999 

Always admired the 47's. Great design. Powerful, reliable work horses. Jacks of all trades, and still in active service. Around 30 years old around the time of these valuable films, and the undisputed kings of clag, bless em'.

A fantastic montage of these beautiful machines and I liked the very poignant ending.

Great video. Especially enjoyed the final scenes with the Network South East 47/7's still with Scottish names, I bet they confused a few normals.

Your comments are sincerely received thanks

Dirty, smelly noisy machines. God I loved em.

Great video but why is a class 50 pulling away in the sound at the beginning

Hi Allan - I have what you might consider a slightly left-field request. 🙂 I'm an amateur musician and have an album coming out on a small subscription label later in the year. One of the tracks is called 'Class 47' and is a tune inspired by my memories of the trains I used in the 80s and often saw running along the tracks at the top of our school field. I really want to do a video for the song - it'd be so evocative. Your video here would be *just perfect* to take clips from to use for that - I was wondering if I could have your permission to do that? I'd be more than happy to attribute where the video came from at the end of the video and provide a link back to this page in the description etc. Happy to send you a link to the tune if you want to check it out before you commit to being associated with it 😉

Great compilation 👍👍👍👍👍
