On a weekend when the Westcountryman Rail tour was due to visit Okehampton the Dartmoor Railway found itself with an unwell Thumper No 1132.
In order to run its serice they managed to hire 47727 Rebecca from Colas Rail. The loco ran light from Ashford as 0Z47 0849 Ashford - Okehampton on saturday 26-09-09 and on sunday propelled the thumper from Okehampton - Meldon and hauled it back. This gallery is a selection of the images taken.
The shots of the train at Meldon Quarry were taken with the permission of the Dartmoor Railway
