A Class 67 fest draws to a close then. Every service I'd planned for a 67 turned one out and I added mileage to 5 locos, taking a couple more into the 200 mile club & my stalker 017 over 600 miles!

Over 300 miles of loco hauled action for a £30 ranger - not bad value at all 😁

It’s always a pleasure to visit the Isle of Wight though sadly reinstatement of the island’s railways, particularly to Newport, Cowes and Ventnor, seems to be taking a lifetime!
