Nice photos there, 31466 looks quite smart!

Is Bathurst Park easy to get to?

 

[curly42]

Pretty much next to Lydney Town station,although the other side of the line.Light is better around midday but I had to be elsewhere by then.
Shame that we didn't get the double headed class 14 but there you go.

Ta, I'll try to remember that for the day I return to the DFR. Looks like it'll be 3 years between visits for me!

D9521 is a class 14 James.

The Clayton you refer to is sole surviving class 17 No D8568 at the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway.
