Believe it or not but 47562 was fixed up, and renumbered twice since the crash. It still runs today as 47760http://www.class47.co.uk/c47_numbers.php?ft=y& ... 7562Here's a video of it running in September 2012http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nwe1cX8-eQ

They are terrific photos BIG N of an incident that I had forgotten about. Such photos and recollections show how valuable the Secret Leeds site is.Judged by the amount of damage it seems amazing that there were no serious injuries.

You can see why drivers preferred the English Electric built locos with a front nose design like the 37's, the 40 pictured above, and the Deltics. The nose crumple zone seeing many drivers walk away from a crash.
