An odd working that popped up at short notice. Following 'gen' from a friend I scrambled myself to get to this spot to see what 4Z47 the 13.30 Etches Park - Immingham comprised of, I new a pair of 47's were on the front but didn't know what the consist was. It transpired it was a lone HHA complete with Colas decals. Further information suggests that No. 47727 was on a test run following repair and had taken 739 along as insurance and that the consist was a wagon which had been to Etches Park for tyre turning. The complete ensemble are seen at Lowdham station, Notts as signaller Chambers sends 'train entering section' to Fiskerton Junction at 14.24 on Friday 12th August 2011.
