Its not only the loco that looks smart in this picture, there is a complete absence of clutter. On the left hand side of this picture the line to Tipton St John and Sidmouth Junction can be seen commencing the climb to Littleham, this route closed 6th March 1967. Many thanks to Mike for another Gem from his collection.
