One of the moves of the year so far occurred on 10 March as two long-stored 47s, nos. 47843 and 47847, were hauled off to their new life/resting place by a trio of WCR class 37s, nos. 37706, 37685 and 37518. The 47s were unbraked and through-piped, leading to the train running as a class 6 'freight', with the 37s providing the brake force. In this video, the consist is seen at Shireoaks, shortly after departure from Worksop, and at Normanton, where 37706 put on a show.
