Running exactly to time, 37248 Loch Arkaig & 37676 Loch Rannoch pass a very foggy Yarnton (near Oxford) with the Spitfire Railtours 1Z48 05:45 Poole to Blackpool 'Christmas Cracker' railtour on 29 November 2008. Unfortunately the maroon livery of both the stock and the West Coast Railway Company's locos looks very drab in these conditions. I had been unable to go out for the previous day's empty stock working taking the train south and with the rather cleaner 37676 leading, so despite the awful weather an effort was made to get a record shot of this unusual motive power in the Cherwell Valley.
