Diesel hydraulics dominate the scene at Gloucester Horton Road MPD on 7th September 1969, although the reason for my visit was the rare visit of Brush Type 4 No. D1519, which later became Class 47 No. 47420 under TOPS and was scrapped by Vic Berry of Leicester during March 1989. Among the hydraulic locos present were Beyer Peacock 'Hymek' Type 3 No. D7031 and North British Type 2 No. D6310. Note the pile of redundant semaphore signal arms behind the trolley wheels and the breakdown train vehicle.
