It looked like a 56 top and tailing something yellow with possibly a pair of 20s at the rear.
Does anybody know what this might be?

There is an NR test train down that way today - going to Okehampton i think
Thank you sir. Maybe I'll be lucky and get a shot of it when it goes back towards Okehampton.
I'm working on the neighbours place today so I've switched the radio off left the windows open. ;)

I just looked out of the window and saw an HST go past with both celebrity power cars on it too.
I think I might have stepped back into the 1980s this morning.
Hang on. I'll look in the mirror...

Nope. Still an old git.

Here we go. It's a screenshot so a little bit fuzzy...

Well that's new. Looking at the headcode for the way back it is a 0 so it looks like the rail grinder may have been dropped off.

The last time I saw something similar going up there (behind 50008 that time) it was left on the Dartmoor Railway and picked up a few weeks later.
