Class 47 No.47484 was repainted into the same green livery and named 'Isambard Kingdom Brunel' - I'm not sure when, but always thought it was for GWR150 in 1985. The photo shows 47484 between D400 & 31568 'The Enginemen's Fund' at Old Oak Common open day, 18th August 1991.

I put one or two photos of 50007 in the gallery for sure(when in service for the WR), yet to see her since being preserved though...anyone remember reading in 'Rail Enthusiast' that there was a plan to repaint 50016 'Barham' in maroon at the time of 50007 painting into green?

Well chaps, after speaking to a retired BR driver who coincidentally was at Old Oak common in "84/85", 50007 & 47484 were both painted green especially for the GWR 150 celebrations.

I've managed to unearth a photo of 47500 "Great Western" in Brunswick Green at Reading at a later date, maybe 1989 (attached). I have to say, I'd like to have seen a lot of other classes in this livery, it's very classy! |

There are two other locos in this livery:
60081 Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Been out of action for some years and was one of the 60's offered for sale recently by DBS. 57604 Pendennis Castle repainted into this livery in 2010 by First Great Western for GWR 175. Two of the GWR Green 47's: 47484 Isambard Kingdom Brunel and 47500 Great Western are preserved. Best wishes, John H-T.
