D9539 & D9553 pass Didbrook on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway with the 09:50 Toddington to Far Stanley service on 19 March 1995, during the line's Spring Diesel Gala.

Although a far cry from their intended role as trip freight locos, this double header certainly looks impressive with the contrasting colours in buffer beams and coupling rods. |
