Following the announcement of a Western visitor to WSR, thought I'd post this photo of, what was at the time, 'The Severn Valley' Western. D1013 Western Ranger running around at Hampton Loade, October 1982. Hopefully, it will be running again at some point.

85 has come out to play now, resulting in a very odd combination with the 37 for the return run between Haworth Loop and Oxenhope.
She's now out and about on her own, meaning I get to look forward to an unassisted run back up the Worth Valley with 85 on load 5
