Yes I know, a light engine movement but hey, it's a 31 with a funky retro paintjob, look at that smoke, listen to that sound...well maybe not but I enjoyed it. 31190 (without it's usual buddy the Swedish Railvac) en route to Taunton at the popular location of Strap lane near Upton Noble, I was joined there for a short while by Bath-based enthusiast Glen Batten, a very well informed and friendly guy and yet another Canon-man! - 22/11/13

Looks like a spanking new paint job for DCR's 56312 Jeremiah Dixon*, seen passing Twerton cemetery Bath with 6Z56 working from Long Marston bound for Totton yard Southampton. The single PNA wagon at the rear was collected from Long Marston with the four JRAs brought down from Washwood Heath by the locomotive. This locomotive was originally Romanian built 56003, delivered to British Rail in 1976 - 20/09/13

D1015 Western Champion speeds through Twerton Bath with The Western Wessexman run by Pathfinder Tours. I'd seen that a working of some sort was passing through from Leicester to Weymouth but had no idea what to expect, just popped out from work, well pleased with the result - 07/09/13
