Last chance to save 47114 a former prototype class 48 locomotive

We would like to appeal for anyone who would be interested in saving this loco, with a long term view of obtaining a Sulzer 12LVA24 engine from France and restoring it as a class 48. This would be a mammoth undertaking, but it would also result in a unique locomotive which is already in a better state than some of the Barry steam wrecks! This is a project in its very early stages and anyone interested or has similar aims should Contact Us: E-mail d1702@btinternet.com

We would also like to appeal for anyone who has information on the conversion of D1702-06, that was undertaken in Crewe works between 1968-71, and also on the SNCF 68000's, and SNCF 468000's class of locomotives, which had the same engine. I would also be interested in any information of D1702-06 in traffic as class 48's and how they performed. Contact Us: E-mail d1702@btinternet.com
