"What is that boy photographing?".
Class 52 diesel hydraulic locomotive No. D1057 WESTERN CHIEFTAIN gets a away from Swindon with an up express on Thursday 2nd August 1973.
From my records it looks like I had a short spotting trip to Swindon that day. I saw members of Classes 08, 31, 35, 37, 42, 45, 47 and some DMUs. The "Warships" (810 and 818) were probably parked outside the Works, spied from the train on the way in. I also noted two other "Westerns": D1047 and D1072. My trains to and from Swindon (I probably travelled from Bath Spa) were both Brush 4s: 1942 and 1952 respectively.
