I expect he's warming the lamp to make it easier to light - an old railwayman's trick ;)

As soon as his hair was straightened he unexpectedly picked up the lamp, walked to the other end of the loco and hung it on the back of the coal bunker, and then got into the cab, and the train left the terminus in reverse. The loco had previously run around its train - so the driver could straighten his hair.

What's with the scaffolding in the final shot?

It's a temporary footbridge under construction for repair/replacement of Teignmouth station footbridge.  Planning permission still to be applied for apparently.  More photos on ER's thread

Rutland Ironstone Museum. 31 march 2006.

Bit of a story behind this one. Axlebox and I were having a poke about around the Rutland Ironstone museum when treated to a full display by the Typhoon.

The display was to mark No. 3(Fighter) Squadrons move to RAF Coningsby becoming the third RAF and first front line RAF Squadron to be equipped with the Eurofighter Typhoon.

OK, maybe Parkstone Bank looks better with a train.

 

Here the 07.49 Weymouth - Bournemouth ECS climbs the bank. As 10-car Cl.444s are not allowed beyond Poole due to power supply restrictions, this unit works empty all the way from Weymouth where it'll form the front portion of the 08.03 Weymouth - Waterloo at Bournemouth.
