The first Brush Type 4 No D1500 was delivered to British Railways
in September 1962, working its first passenger trains on 8 October.
This new book from Simon Lilley is a pictorial history of their
first 20 years in service with a mix of black and white and colour
photographs used to illustrate the history of the Class 47s from
their very early days to the early 1980s. All the key developments
of the class over these years are captured and explained, including
livery changes as green gave way to corporate blue and locomotives
were fitted with train air-brakes and electric train heating
equipment. There were many variations within the Class 47 fleet,
both big and small, and this book highlights those differences. The
wide mix of locations gives a geographical spread across country,
and include some locations not normally associated with the
locomotives, reflecting their work over the years across the rail
network on a wide variety passenger, parcels and freight duties.
