51405 & 51363 emerge from the shadows at Chawton on 2 January 2010 with the 12:50 Alton to Alresford service. At this point the Mid Hants Railway runs very close to Jane Austen's house, where the novelist lived between 1809 and 1817. The only thing that spoils the mid 1960s atmosphere of this picture is the centrally placed headlight on the front end of the unit, a fitting from its Network SouthEast days when it used to work between Paddington and Oxford.
