Just thought I'd add this taken today at Norden on the Swanage Railway. Only running on one engine due to a problem, but still sounding amazing.

Yeah, well I was only 7 years old at the time

Just happened to stumble upon this when moving some photo albums the other day.

Folkestone Harbour, taken, I think, in 1981

FGW HST's on London to Bristol FGW HST's on long way round London to Exeter/ Plymouth/ Penzance FGW 158's on Portsmouth - Cardiff FGW 158's/ 150's/ 153's on Weymouth to Gloucester/ Cheltenham, Great Malvern, Worcester FGW 158's/ 150's/ 153's, 143's on Frome/ Westbury/ Warminster to Bristol/ Cardiff ...

Great Malvern to Weymouth: 158's, 150's, or those plus a 153 as far as Bristol or Westbury. Cheltenham Spa to Swindon: 150's or a 153. Also HST's run this route through to Paddington. Cardiff to Portsmouth is supposed to be a 3 car 158, but depends on what is available. Either purpose built 1588xx o...
