This was one of the first photographs I took over the three days of the event, and one of the few occasions during the weekend where there was actually some sunshine. For most of its runs over the line during the gala, the locomotive was turned at Minehead and Norton Fitzwarren so that it was facing forwards, so I was extremely pleased that this shot was not tender-first.
