I personally have never seen a class 47 on an MGR working at this location. I'm fairly sure max loadings for a class 47 on MGR traffic in the NE was either 30 or 32 HAA wagons. A pair of 37's a class 56 or 60 could handle 36. From personal experience a class 56 was ideal traction to haul MGR trains. As a second man I recall driving a class 47 on an MGR working from Tyne Yard to York Yard North possibly 1985-86. The occasions I worked into the coal terminal here it was either with a class 56 or class 60. Thanks to fellow driver Mick for allowing me to share this image here.
UK: Operator Avanti West Coast and leasing company Angel Trains have awarded Alstom a £642m, seven-year contract to overhaul and maintain the 56 Class 390 Pendolino tilting trainsets which entered service on the West Coast Main Line from 2003.
A E Goodwin delivered six single ended 930 class 1955/56 for the steeply graded Tailem Bend line and on to Serviceton. 31 double enders followed 1957 to 1967 and took over heavy freights to Port Pirie, Terowie, Mt Gambier, Angaston and The Overland, ending Webb' era steam loco use. From 1982 some were standard gauged with NSW 44 class bogies for trains from Adelaide to Whyalla and Broken Hill. They worked to Melbourne in the mid 1980s. Withdrawals started in 1986. Two remained in 1994

Virgin Trains briefly leased two class 180s before returning them in favour of the class 90 + Mk3 Pretandalino. If Virgin had kept the 180s, I think they would have looked rather smart in red and silver. Interestingly, early renders of the Pendolino show it with a similar design of front end to the class 180, so something rather like this could have ended up on the WCML.

South West Trains' first livery, while very similar in appearance to Network SouthEast, still required trains to be completely repainted. How would it have looked applied to their new Siemens Desiros? Image by Paul Burkitt-Gray, based on a photograph by Jan Derk, published under Creative Commons Attribution License.
