The last loco at Saltley shed


... was removed via low-loader at midday on Wednesday. 
47791 had stood withdrawn here for the last four years, in it's final
 livery (RES red), and minus nameplates 
(Venice Simplon Orient Express). Apparently the loco is to be restored to working order at Eastleigh...
Saltley depot was closed in March this year.
