50017 Royal Oak (running as 50117) & 50015 Valiant catch the last rays of the setting sun as they accelerate away from Blue Anchor with the 17:25 Bishops Lydeard to Minehead service on 19 September 1998. This was during the West Somerset Railway's Diesel Gala. 50017 is running with the number and livery (Railfreight General) which would have been applied to members of the class, had they followed the example of 50049 and been converted for purely freight use.
