47771 is at Eastleigh Works

Below: By late August 2024, the repainting of 47771’s underbody, buffer beams and bogies was nearing its final stages. On the 25th of that month, the No. 2 End buffer beam was in the early stages of having undercoat applied. The undercoated grey areas show the new metal that replaced the corroded platework which dated back to the loco’s last works overhaul which took place in 1992. Photo: Robert Ward.
