Strictly not light engine though. With support coach.
Yeah, I agree, but I was quoting the railadvent.co.uk web site.

Great picture, if only I'd known... 😬
46100 Royal Scot came thundering through my local station (Filton Abbey Wood) this afternoon, light engine en-route to Crewe (from Bishops Lydeard). The weather was pretty awful leading up to her arrival but we got a few minutes of weak sunshine just as she hove into view at the top of Filton Bank. The damp air meant she was putting out lots of steam

Slipped to a standstill on the Furness line, passed Grange over Sands more than 2 hours late.I use the railadvent.co.uk web site to look for steam excursions. The next one is tomorrow (Bristol TM to Carlisle) pulled by 35018 British India Line but it is due through Filton at 05:42 and 22:59 so no good/too dark for photos

So much for towing a diesel around on the back of the train for such eventualities.
An interloper at Kings Cross on thursday.
A 153 unit from The Midland on a tour from Peterborough via East Anglia, Kings Cross and Cambridge. Reason unknown.

Judging by the gubbins on the front, could it be a recording unit checking track?
