21st February - Devon Day Ranger

One of the main things for today was to photogrpah the DRS stock move from Crewe to Keyham, Plymouth. I would meet Peter at some point to do this and we decided Aller near Newton Abbot West Junction would be a good spot.  I have never photographed anything from this location before so it was new to me.

Not knowing the exact timings of everything I went out at the normal time and i'm glad i did. Before I meet Peter I managed a 3 winning trains for haulage. A new Voyager and two more FGW power cars.

It was raining for the photo of the DRS 47 and 57 but i was pleased with it DRS 47 & 57

The moves I made were (winners in red)
