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.
