37428 Little Bedwyn 23 April 1998

37428 passes Little Bedwyn in the pouring rain on 23 April 1998 with the 1Z33 11:55 Paddington to Bath Royal Scotsman luxury charter. The loco had only just been repainted into its Royal Scotsman claret livery, but had yet to be named The Royal Scotsman. This was carried out three weeks later at York station. Unfortunately this classic viewpoint is no longer possible, as there is a lot more than these few well trimmed miniature beech trees along the railway fence now!
