westerns on shed at Bath Road

An awful pic of a couple of Westerns on shed at Bath Road. I include this because it's one of the first photos I ever took. It's a polaroid and the quality is rubbish.... but I love it :) D1010 and D1048 come off Bath Road Shed and prepare to follow sister locos D1023 and D1013 to Plymouth as backup on the last day of the Westerns. 26.2.77.

A general view of the shed taken on the 15.1.89. Locos visible include 47095, 47634, 47539, 47500 and 47528. Like an idiot, I didn't archive the number of the 08!
