This is good news. I was talking to the duty manager at Okehampton a week or so ago and he told me that they had asked for 45060 three years in a row, and had been unlucky with it. He also said that 47701 and a 33 were due down.

Any idea when the 26 arrived and when is it due to go back?

There was a great atmosphere on the train. Thoroughly enjoyable.

It has been mentioned further up the thread so I hope everyone is aware. Still some tickets left so I hear.

We are just out of shot on the left.

super pics. I was on Paignton platform with my son. I probably saw you.

Make sure someone isn't taking your pic and reselling denying you payment.
No, the pic I saw wasn`t mine. It was from a well known collection.

Would be interested to know what is under those tarpaulins behind the 37s.Not a normal freight flow from the west, definitely not clay and a substantial load. Great photos.
Yes, that is interesting. MOD traffic from Devonport maybe?

That brings back a lot of memories. I started spending a lot of my summer saturdays riding down to Paignton and back. Shame I didn't get my first proper camera until 83 though.

Great collection of photos!
Thanks Mudmagnet.
Just out of curiosity, I have been going through a lot of the pics on here and on some of the Flicr accounts just to see if I can spot myself in any of the photos. Has anyone else found themselves in other peoples pictures.

Here`s another from Crediton 47575, Oddly enough, I saw a picture of the same loco, running light engine through Crediton, (taken from a different angle, but presumably on the same day), for sale on e-bay. I couldn't see myself in the other picture though. Odd, because I don't recall seeing anyone else on the platform that day.

Looks like it could be the one, that solves a 32 year old mystery.

Hi Gasky, welcome to RMWeb.
I like the shot of the peak on an up Speedlink at St Davids, looking on Flickr 45009 45048 and 45150 are three I can find with a depot sticker,
but none of the photos I can find have the distinctive scar or chip seen in the paintwork on your shot,
cheers
I can`t see an ETH box, so i don`t think it could be 45150, 048 seems to ring a bell mind.

No, no flicr account, although maybe in the future. sadly a lot of my pictures from the eighties have not survived the intervening decades. and there was a good twenty odd years when I stopped taking pictures of railways. However i shall post what i have for any who are interested, and if the topic is relevent. I have started to take railway pics again, the difference in style after twenty odd years is remarkable. Anyhow, here is 50013, on one of the first 50 ventures to Waterloo.

Pass, I imagine there must have been reasons, I was disapointed myself with the performance of the 45 on the Sunday I was behind it, never broke into a sweat with the 33 doing all the work.
Also, why was the event, which was planned months ahead, so poorly marketed, both days should have been heaving, a chance to bash three classic diesels on a line with a decent speed limit.
