Ex LMS No 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' arriving at Westbury this morning on the Railway Touring Company's 1Z29 0800 London Paddington-Minehead (West Somerset Railway) 'West Somerset Steam Express' charter.  The train was a sight to behold with a maroon loco heading a full set of matching mark one carriages.  At Bishops Lydeard one of the WSR's steam locos 53808 was due to relieve the 'Duchess' for the trip to Minehead and back.

56113 at Teigngrace. Seen on the 29th May 2014 Copyright Clive Smith.
56113 creates quite a few fumes just ticking over amidst the foliage at Teigngrace on the Newton Abbot - Heathfield branch on the 29th May 2014. The contract to take timber from here to Chirk brought life back to the mothballed freight branch for a number of years. The loading facility was created next to the line just down from the level crossing. My employer's depot relocated to nearby Kingsteignton around this time and a heads-up that the 'logs were running'  provided me with this photo opportunity on the morning commute. Not sure I was going to capture it as the shot was only possible from private land where the timber was stored. Thankfully a security guard gave me the nod and the shot was duly taken. 

                             Regards, Clive Smith. 
​Y
our personal notes including mention of an obliging security guard very much add to the interest - Many Thanks to you Clive.
