Against a glorious blue sky 40145 crosses Broadsands Viaduct with Pathfinders' Devonian railtour 06.39 Banbury - Kingswear on the 8th September 2007. Originally booked for 55022, the non-standard liveried 40 was substituted due to the Deltic's non-availability. 
          Regards, Clive Smith.       Many thanks to you Clive.
