The Shambles headboard was intended for a GBRf railtour running after the Swanage diesel gala but was rushed down from Slough for the weekend as it somehow seemed appropriate!

Harmans Cross
Class 27 No. D5401 (27056, 27112) from the Northampton Type 2 Group was the star attraction at this year's excellent Swanage Railway diesel gala and is seen here heading for Swanage in superb conditions; the veteran diesel looking and sounding fantastic.

Harmans Cross
With the unexpected loss of D6515 (33012), it was down to the remaining resident Class 33 No. 33111 to step up to the mark.
Here Hot Dog heads a Swanage-bound service near Harman's Cross, although I think the headcode should be 98 (for the Swanage branch), 89 being the old Pompey - Cardiff trains.

Woodyhyde
Time to move.
With the sun coming round to the other side of the line all the time, this was to be the final shot from the north side of the line which is so rarely photographed.
50026 Indomitable makes its way towards Norden passing Woodyhyde.

Woodyhyde
An unfortunate moment when the sun was covered momentarily by a small cloud just as D5401 passes Woodyhyde heading for Swanage, still, the location more than makes up for it.

Woodyhyde
Another thirty seconds and the passing cloud shadow would have been clear of the hill to the right. None-the-less, Network Rail's 57312 makes a striking sight across the Purbecks with 73136 Perseverance tucked inside as they pass Woodyhyde heading the 09:15 Swanage - Norden.

It could almost be like an Exeter to Okehampton service, if the stock had been in blue and grey. Making its operational debut in preservation is 50026 Indomitable as heads towards Harmans Cross with 1S06 13:28 Swanage - Norden past Dickers Crossing.

Standard Tank 80104 heads 2S11 13:00 Norden - Swanage almost to time near Harman's Cross. This was an idea I had a couple of years ago, but never did it, so I was pleased to give it a go this time; I think it works better with steam than diesel anyway.

Former Class 47 No. 47330 - since re-engineered and re-numbered as 57312 - passes with Class 27 No. D5401 inside on 2N12 13:00 Swanage - Norden in a lucky patch of sunshine.
