A welcome and colourful surprise Sunday working at South Moreton on 21 July 2013. 47749 Demelza & 47739 Robin of Templecombe near journey's end with the 6Z47 12:30 Dollands Moor to Didcot, conveying a rake of covered car carriers. Allegedly these wagons were getting in the way at Dollands Moor, and were therefore moved before the start of the working week. Unfortunately, this pair of locos had less success the following day, when an engine fire caused their Eastleigh to Long Marston train of track machines and assorted wagons to be declared a failure at Bristol Parkway, therefore causing me to drive over a hundred miles for nothing!
