17th April 2004

It's a lovely day to be travelling to Minehead, which is exactly where the passengers on this railtour are heading. At 12.22 Class 37/0s nos. 37047 and 37057 "Viking" double-up on the 1Z37 07.38 Milton Keynes to Minehead "Steamy Affairs" tour. These two locos, in their Mainline blue and EWS maroon were celebrities at the time and their services would soon be dispensed with. I caught up with them at Stogumber on their final stretch to Minehead on the West Somerset Railway.
