    6023 (now back home at Didcot), Steam Rail Motor 93 and Trailer Car 92 both running today and tomorrow at Didcot Railway Centre Gala.
    Why not kill two birds with one stone and have a ride / photograph both.

    great videos....will watch again later!

    Great to see 93 in use....when you consider the state those two coaches were in it's a bit of a miracle... I did think maybe that 92 and 93 are sightly different colours, probably thats because the paint on 92 is older..I'll definately be visiting again in the next week or two!

    Odd to see a King with an autocoach...are they fitting control gear on 6023? :)

    Had a really good day up at DRC on Sunday with some really good mates - 6023 sounded superb, and it good to see it working on a line closer to home! :p

    My video is here:
