Notes on 47383's capabilities for future reference
Some comments on the Jinty's capabilities from SVR News. Not added to the article itself but for reference if required.
*Summer 1983 (pre-Kidderminster): ''When the brakes are repaired, 47383 will again be tackling 6-coach trains, although I fear the worst from previous experience and expect a few crews to come to grief with lack of steam'' (SVR News 68, ''Locomotive Notes'', John Robinson)
*Summer 1985 (post-Kidderminster): ''Not used regularly due to increased SV loadings and small water capacity. Provision of Kidderminster supply could improve availability''. (SVR News 76, ''Locomotive Notes'', John Robinson)
*Spring 1987: ''47383...is also being given a full mechanical repair, so that this locomotive will now be thoroughly capable of working 6-coach trains the whole length of the line''. (SVR News 83, ''General Manager's Notes'', Michael Draper.
