Waterloo Peak
Clive Smith
On the 11th June 1985 to celebrate the 300th anniversary (1685 - 1985) of the Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards 45143 was sent to Waterloo for a re-dedication of its nameplate . The ceremony was held four days before the 170th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. The loco was specially prepared by Toton and worked throughout on the 05:48 Exeter - Waterloo service. It returned on the 13:10 Waterloo - Exeter service. Less than two years later the loco was withdrawn on May 7th 1987.
          Regards,   Clive Smith    Many thanks indeed Clive

Long Rock
​- closed doors
Craig Munday

​As the first evening down Paddington service goes over to class 802, I thought I'd better get some Long Rock pictures. Thanks to the team there I took some pictures before dawn on Sun 16th Dec. The holding sidings were full with three HST's plus the sleeper stock. The IET which stabled overnight was in the shed, 802019, and sat next to 57605.

None the less, the lineup was impressive and looked great in the dark under the depot lights. The former Anglia buffet Mk3 was inside too. 

       All the best,   Craig       
Many thanks indeed Craig.
