On Saturday we attended the Somerset and Dorset Railway Diesel Gala at Midsomer Norton, sadly the booked Class 26 No.5343 had been cancelled but it became a 'Rod fest' with residents Class 08 D4095, Class 03 D2128 and Industrial shunter D1120 all running on the day, for only a mile in length in total, it was an enjoyable day out, 4 shots enclosed for CRS

It's Easter Monday 23rd April 1984 and 45057 stands at Newquay with the 17.50 1Z23 return Adex to Bristol Parkway. The train was booked for a class 45 and so a fair contingent of peak bashers were on board including myself. With record temperatures for this late Bank Holiday we all decamped down to the beach for a game of football with jumpers for goalposts. The sea temperature for this time of year was still as you would expect for April which came as a shock to some foolhardy members of our group who went for a dip. Happy carefree days much missed.
Regards, Clive Smith.
