LMS Stanier 8F 2-8-0 48624 and SR Bulleid Battle of Britain class 4-6-2 34070 Manston at Bishop's Lydeard. The 8F is an honorary Southern engine, having been built at Ashford in 1943. It is based on the Great Central Railway, and was a last minute stand-in for a Black 5. Mercifully the crimson livery it carried recently has been overpainted with something more authentic.
