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!

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.

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.

The first of a few repetitive shots but with such great weather, why move from my perch?
Making up the numbers to maintain the advertised timetable, 80104 works a down train from Norden to Swanage.

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.

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.

The unmistakable backdrop of the magnificent ruins of Corfe Castle as 57312 and 73136 Perseverance head towards Harman's Cross.
Unfortunately, the yellow field of rape seed to the right is blanketed in shadow from a cloud.

It could almost be like an Exeter to Okehampton service if the stock had been in blue and grey.
Here, 50026 Indomitable heads towards Harman's Cross with 1S06 13:28 Swanage - Norden.

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.
