Please tell me I wasn't dreaming!

Was there really a yellow 47 at Crewe Gresty Lane atabout 1315 today?

What was it?

[And extra points if anyone can id the FL 66 south at Heaton Norris Jn at about 1400!]

Are u sure it wasn't a network rail class 57?.

It'll have been one of the 57s in Network Rail yellow.

Sure it wasnt a colas 47 from the 'yellow end'

Believed to be NR's 57306 as its currently at Basford Hall.

None of the Colas 47's are in the area, and none of the other NR 57's are anywhere close.

It's on hire to GBRf to help out with the latter's loco shortage!

Colas 47s aren't yellow. No more than any other. The sides are a green shade and orange.

What? The sides are yellow orange and black

No they are green and orange, compare with the yellow ends. The sides are actually a very pale yellow shade of green
