Why are the cab doors left open on withdrawn loco’s, is this to speed up the the “Rusting / “Rotting” process over the years & also it’s easy to send it to the scrapyard after 10 years of weather abuse.
its a shame to see 47 484 like this .this is one of the locomotives i thought would of been saved
Brilliant news, one of my favourite locos, hoping to see it back in GWR anniversary
colours again.

Just so glad to see 47484 on the road to recovery-even though I was always a ‘Western’ fan-I loved the original WR named 47′s, they were always special/different but especially 1662/47484.
Keep up the good work-tis very much appreciated!!!

Hi guys, sounds like your doing a great job on I.K.B 47484…..
I have fond memories of the old girl visiting Cheltenham where I live about 26 years ago, and even getting in the cab one day! would love to pop up sometime, do you know a completion date? Or is she available to view?
Kind regards,
Chris.
Hi Chris, we dont do deadlines as we are entirely voluntary. We hope to organise some public viewing days in the future.
Hi Mike, fair comment, sounds like you have a big job on your hands…All the best, and will keep an eye on your site,
Cheers
Best wishes with 47484 Nice to see somebody looking after this machine. Last time I saw it was the day after Sepember 11. While it was stored at Crewe.
Sadly Barrow Hill is a bit too far for me to go, but I still dabble in 47 preservation, and hope to play an active roll in the new year
