Hi 46232,
I recall 47472 with great affection loitering in the south bays of platforms 5 and 6. I heard a rumour at the time before it was scrapped that a certain Preston doctor had bought its funnel and dome. Any truth in the rumour? If so, why didn't he go the whole hog and buy it all. I don't recall the Pug, must have been slightly before my time. Did you see the A1 Kestrel on Lostock Hall shed. One of my mates got on his bike and cycled down to the shed whilst we stayed behind at the "Glass Bridge". Sadly, Kestrel was on the move as he pedalled away but we caught it light engine at Preston station. He never lived it down and was the source of much leg pulling.
David.
