22 July 2012 We enjoyed hosting our friends from the former 6000 Locomotive Association for their annual visit to Yeovil. The day was blessed with the first real sunshine for ages(!) and a good number of visitors arrived for both the Train Day and also to see the Main Line Steam.

The train is seen at Trent on the way down from Bristol to Weymouth. (Photo courtesy Bob Tucker)

'Pectin' is giving brake van rides....

....but on one side an original BAC Ltd No 2 nameplate is being carried.

In the afternoon 'Oliver Cromwell' returns from Weymouth.

Reverses onto site. In the background 'Pectin' waits out of the way while 4464 'Bittern' is stabled.

After turning, 70013 is watered.

As the evening sun begins to fade, 70013 makes its way back through Trent. (Photo courtesy Bob Tucker)
