Fair to say that most of us haven't got a clue when it comes to the D numbers of 47s. Even the Generators are one digit out!

Oh sod...!!! We're listing so many here I'm losing track...
Can you at least tell us if we are firing our shots at the correct sub class?
47 715

Correct.
It carried the name Rebecca when with Colas and now with GBRf carries the name Edinburgh Castle but is currently for sale.
That was a duff question to ask so over to you for something better.
When delivered new the 58 North British type2 diesel electrics had their first allocations to just 4 loco sheds.
Which sheds were these?
(ie which sheds would have been the first to affix their shed plates, subsequent reallocations not of interest)

I think the first ones arrived on the Great Eastern so I'll say Stratford and Ipswich.
If some went to the ScR first I'll say Kittybrewster.
No idea on the 4th one so I'll say Norwich.

Hornsey, Stratford, Ipswich and Hitchin?
I'm starting to feel like I'm out on a limb here, given everyone else's replies
I think you might be thinking of the hydraulic D63xx class M. I know my answer was wrong anyway so don’t worry.
It might have helped if I'd read the question properly and noticed the words "diesel-electric".....so we're talking class 21 and not 22. Oops!I think you might be thinking of the hydraulic D63xx class M. I know my answer was wrong anyway so don’t worry.
I'm sure Scotland got a batch from new as @Peterthegreat suggests, so surely some of them must have gone to Eastfield at least for a short while, given it was about a mile away from the factory?

Yes you're right! Therefore the correct answer is Hornsey, Stratford, Ipswich and Kittybrewster (Aberdeen). I should have known that from the start, having bought the book and having seen a few of them in action (just!).It might have helped if I'd read the question properly and noticed the words "diesel-electric".....so we're talking class 21 and not 22. Oops!
