In May 2002 47844 was moved to Brush Traction for conversion to a 57. Originally allocated the number 57607 which was later changed to 57307. However structural problems were discovered when the loco was stripped down and the conversion plans were scrapped - so was 47844; and 47225 became 57307 instead.
