OTD in 1983.
Biit of a ropey one this, but for the record Derby No.4 shed still had a steam age water column in 1983, where 20134 was stabled on 17th May. #FlashbackFriday

A late Summer evening at Exeter St David's, 3rd September 1983. 50027 worked in on 1V15, the 1510 ex-Waterloo and has run round the empty stock (to take it to the depot?), but I don't know what 45063 was doing. Anybody? #FiftiesOnFriday #50Friday

It's Spring Bank Holiday weekend in 1981 and Saturday morning, 23rd May, starts with 50014 running round a rake of empty stock at Newton Abbot. No details of the working, unfortunately.

Another dodgy old slide, but for so evocative for those of us who were there. These two lads are obviously looking forward to a run along the sea wall behind 50018 on 1M88, the 0626 Plymouth - Liverpool, seen here departing Newton Abbot on Saturday 23rd May 1981. #FiftyFriday

Ahh, a typical 1980's Dawlish scene. Happy holidaymakers waving to a Class 50-hauled train with a head sticking out of every droplight. Except that isn't a head protruding from the leading one!😀 No record of the working, but it's 50034 and the date was 23/5/81. #FiftiesOnFriday

45 years ago today - a Sunday visit to Crewe Works finds 40009, the last vacuum-only survivor, undergoing test after its last intermediate repair. Phwoar.
