Class 40 Railtour
Westward Whistler 
Clive Smith
Class 40 s - The Westward Whistler Railtour -  October 1982​  Four pictures of this memorable class 40 railtour to Devon. Having been visited by 40025 less than a month previously, Plymouth was visited by more 40s. Talk about being spoiled. Alas the weather did not live up to the occasion and it was a thoroughly miserable day.

                Regards, Clive Smith. 
Many thanks Clive.
