Preparing to buffer up |
| Description: |
Most of our second day on the line was spent learning how to "buffer up," that is, how to approach the brake van at the appropriate speed and then stop after gently meeting up with the vans buffers. Practicing this operation in full view of the sceptical stationmaster and his staff was nerve-wracking indeed! |

Ready and Waiting! |
| Description: |
Great Western Railway No. 9017 (sometimes 3217) the 4-4-0 Earl of Berkeley. This class of locomotives was nicknamed "Dukedog" because the GWR cobbled them together from the frames of Bulldog class locos and the boilers of Duke class engines. The resultant locomotives, while occasionally temperamental, served for many years on the GWR. |
