A dramatic head on view of 50 031

Class 35 Diesel Hydraulic D 7017 was entered by the Diesel & Electric Preservation Group.

Trainload Freight 56 032 looked imposing in its coal sector grey, yellow and black livery

In the dramatic RES (Rail Express Systems) livery, 47 744 was indicative of the motive power of the day as used for the travelling post offices. One of the TPO vehicles is behind the loco.

83 012, also entered by Crewe Heritage Centre

Surely one of the most attractive diesel locos ever to run in the Uk, Warship class D821 'Greyhound' looks resplendent in its green livery.

85 101, formerly E3061, was entered by Pete Waterman, Crewe Heritage Centre

Crompton 33 052 would have been no stranger to Exeter, probably having visited many time during the course of its working life.

An interesting view of 59 102 'Village of Chantry', entered by Mendip Rail. This loco was built in Illiniois USA before being shipped to the UK

Preserved class 40 D212 looked absolutely stunning, with Deltic 55 015 behind

56 032 leads the line up of power at the photographic preview

Another view of 59 102. The only real miss of the day was 60 033, which was very poorly placed for photography.

An unusual attendee was RfD 90/1 class member 90 133

In the famous InterCity 'swallow' livery, HST power car 43025 received relatively little attention at the show

Restored to its original livery and running number, 33 058 sits alongside 052

Hands up if you recognise that depot plate! This view shows Infrastructure class 31 no 31 105 'Bescot TMD'. Unbelieveably, this loco is still operational today, as part of the NR fleet and utilised for haulage of various test trains across the UK.

In celebration of freight traffic passing through the Channel Tunnel, 90 128 was one of a small number of class 90s to be painted in foreign railway company liveries. It is seen here at Exeter Rail Fair in 1994 carrying the eyecatching livery of SNCB-NMBS. the Belgian national railways

Locomotive design over the years... An interesting comparison. 59 102, 60 033 and 47 744 alongside each other in the line up.
