(1) South West Royal Scotsman! Having arrived on the Crediton to Okehampton line overnight with a loaded rail train, the now-discharged train is heading back to base. At 10.43 GBRf Class 66 no. 66743 heads the 6G97 09.00 Crediton to Westbury Down T. C., with no. 66719 "Metro-Land" on the rear. The Royal Scotsman livery looks out of place in rural Somerset. No doubt this locomotive, and sister no. 66746, will be working the luxury train in Scotland later in the year.
