Southern Interloper - a photo on Flickriver

            Bulleid West Country light pacific, 34046 'Braunton' passes Portway in pale Autumnal sunshine.

The WC was running as 1Z46 - 06:38 Crewe to Kidderminster S.V.R. and was 26 minutes down at this point. 

These locos are my favourite steam engines (despite me being and LMS man through and through). As a kid, I was captivated by the S & D, and the photos of Ivo Peters in the OPC series of books.

34046 was a regular performer on the S & D, being shedded at Bournemouth. It really made my day seeing her in action.

34046 is owned by Jeremey Hosking, the entrepreneur behind LSL based at Crewe.

The S.R. disc headcode displayed could have meant one of the following:

London Bridge or Bricklayers' Arms and Tonbridge or Reading via East Croydon and Redhill
Brighton and Hove via Preston Park spur
Three Bridges and Eridge
Victoria or Holborn and Folkestone or Dover via Orpington Loop, Tonbridge and Ashford
London Bridge or Bricklayers' Arms and Gillingham, Faversham, Ramsgate or Dover via Chislehurst Loop and Chatham
Waterloo and Clapham Junc (empty trains and light engines)
Nine Elms Loco depot to Clapham Junc
Clapham Junc and Hampton Court via east Putney
Southampton or Salisbury to Eastern Section via Chertsey, Brentford and Clapham Junc (as from Basingstoke)
passenger trains, Bournemouth Central and Weymouth
Bournemouth West and Oxford, GWR
Exmouth Junc Loco to Exmouth Junc Yard
Light engines Fratton and Eastleigh
Willesden or Neasden or Brent to main line stations beyond Woking via Gunnersbury and Chertsey (change at Woking or Basingstoke to headsignal for destination)
