47765 is privately owned by Mark Fowler (owner of D7629) and
information will come available on the website http://www.47765.com as
time permits.

Both cabs need a bit of work doing to replace missing dials and guages
and will also need a bogie swap due to a Traction Motor bearing
failure.

Once back in traffic, 765 will be used on regular passenger workings
and due to being dual braked, can be used with either the Vac Mk1 rake
or the ex Gatwick Express Mark 2 air braked rake.
