Beyer-Peacock 'Hymek' B-B No. 7018 - the Hymeks were rare visitors to the London area in my spotting days, so always seem exotic to me, although four have been preserved.
British Railways 'Warship' B-B No. 821 'Greyhound' - back in 1972 'Greyhound' hauled an afternoon Bristol to Plymouth parcels train, being almost certainly the last BR Warship-hauled revenue-earning train.
British Railways 'Western' C-C No. 1015 'Western Champion' - according to Wikipedia No. 1015 was "... outshopped in the experimental 'golden ochre' livery with small yellow warning panels ..." and was recreating that livery at the time of this snap.
