6 November 2011 saw the rare appearance of a pair of Class 37s on the Cotswold Line. 37676 Loch Rannoch & 37685 Loch Arkaig worked the Spitfire Railtours 1Z27 10:30 Exeter to Preston 'Jorvic Explorer III' railtour, seen here passing Shorthampton. Unfortunately they passed me in the worst of all possible lighting conditions - a dense patch of cloud on a partially sunny day. The awful sludge brown livery that these locos are painted in looks bad enough in good light, but in these conditions it looks terrible. Considerable work in Photoshop has been required even to achieve this barely adequate record shot.
