The second of the "Port of Par Twins" ("Alfred" is seen earlier in the collection). In this instance, "Judy" was by herself, a last-minute replacement for the two original guest locomotives which were unable to run at the gala (one was static at Norchard, the other's whereabouts were unknown to me at the time of writing), and because of her diminutive size, had to be watered at Lydney Junction by a water bowser.
I've elected to replace the two images I took of "Judy" in 2012 with ones taken in March 2026.
