How about a Pre Nationalisation Diesel Gala?

This with the NER Autocar, K&ESR Railbus and a shunter or two?

 

Great pics, despite the guard having his hands in his pockets contemplating what a good day he was having!

 

Would that guard happen to be you?

 

T'was indeed!

Found a black guard's tie in the Shark today... are you one short?

 

A ballast train went out today.



As we had a possession and there were no services, we were in no great hurry, so did a few photo stops on the way. Enthusiast diesel drivers, see...

 

Nope, although I wouldn't mind upgrading the tie and cap badge from GWSR to GWR if suitable products are recommended, having gone to some effort with the jacket.
