That’s Waterloo, not Paddington (and probably the scruffiest 50 I’ve ever seen).

 

Thanks for that!  It makes sense.  I will correct them a.s.a.p.  Shame they are so over-exposed as well.

I'm not sure if this was already uploaded umpteen pages back, but this is the next shot on the film of 50030 seen in my previous post, as it crosses into Devon on 25th May 1975. The sky looks very different which is probably due to me overdoing the darkening down of the long-distance shot when I tried to rescue it.

Nice shot. Interesting to see the road bridge looking so new. Way before it got its modified deck. Don’t know if it’s the light but the royal Albert bridge looks like it’s painted in a darker shade of gray at this time compare to present.

I finally found my lost stash of prints and amongst them was this one taken at Laira, presumably early 1990s - not my photograph, it was donated by a family friend.
Probably returning from a visit to the carriage washer?

I can't make out the second loco's number but I'm thinking either 48 or 18?

I have a few old ones. This first one was on a cold and gloomy December day in 1978 at Northfield. I should think the Ektachrome 400 was pushed to 1600 ASA on a day like this.

50003 pauses at Crewkerne sometime in the 1980s. The track work being undertaken may help to date the photo.

 

Initially, the length of the train made me wonder if it was a enthusiasts special, but I can't see any further evidence. 1028089458_50003crewkerne1986.jpg.b43922abee6e72deb069303f6e15c830.jpg

Standard length was 9 carriages. Pic a bit dark but that looks like 9 to me.
