First two shots from me here, hopefully at least one of them will find favour with someone!

43127 arrives into Ledbury (43154 on the rear) with the 0851 Paddington to Hereford on a glorious sunny and hot day on 5th March 2008. Note the still in use signal box and semaphores.

43126 waits to leave Newport for Swansea on the left whilst a surprise visitor in the form of 37059 is to the right. I do not know where it went or where it came from, but it was a lovely surprise!

Third entry to come later this month after I've been out again.

Indeed they do. Only ever usually get enthusiasts down that end anyway, so I guess they don't worry about it! And ta for the photo compliment. You can be assured it made a right royal noise when it left! Twisted Evil
