Apparently banned from the branch line to Yeovil Junction, 37706 is left at Yeovil Pen Mill! At least it is not in disgrace unlike its last visit to the Pen Mill sidings... (Photo courtesy Bob Tucker)

Servicing complete, 'Tangmere' departs in a cloud of steam and noise!.

Away along what was the down through road many years ago.

Ready to leave for Yeovil Pen Mill and pick up 37706 for the return trip to Weymouth.
