    A few shots from Saturday of No.65 taking part in the Gala at Didcot:

    The loco waits to hand over the demo line duties to 4079:

    No.65 runs into the main platform with a demo line service:

    The 0-6-0 rubs shoulders with a 4-6-0, 5051:

    At the end of day No.65 rests with Trojan on the pit road:

    Another view on the demo line:

    No.65 simmers in front of the coaling stage with her duties done for the day:

    Great photos! I went to Didcot last weekend and quite enjoyed seeing 65 parked up there.

    Just saw the VEP passing Strawberry Hill. It seems I can't escape Bluebell locos/units no matter where I go...

    They passed at Kingscote, with the Thumper booked to wait for 15 minutes (11:20-11:35) whilst the service train non-stopped (11/31).
