Not quite my first with my mum's Instamatic, but close to it...... 4706 shunts a Cowra bound goods at Young in Dec 1972. This was the first 47 I ever saw, and I even chased it a couple of miles out of town on my trusty pushbike....

One of my earliest photos, taken with my mother's Instamatic in Nov 1973. 4529 and a 422 shunt at Young. It was unusual to see "big power" at Young at this time, normally the ubiquitous 48 class reigned supreme. These two arrived on a loaded ballast train.
