40195 1Z38 17:08 Eastleigh - Nottingham, passing Shawford, 29th May 1983. Working hard, with plenty of flailing from the leading coaches.
The long missing photograph was found in recovery after a plumbing incident at home, and will shortly be returned to its space in an album. There was an Eastleigh T&RSMD open day on Sunday 29th May 1983, and this tour was run, promoted by RESL (Rail Enthusiasts Society Ltd.) with entry arranged for the event in the tour tickets. A viable tour with only 7 Mk 1 coaches.
40195 was allocated to LO Longsight at this time, following a transfer from HM (Healey Mills) earlier in the month. The locomotive was new from English Electric Vulcan Foundry on 27th June 1962, allocated to Gateshead. It was withdrawn on 25th June 1984, and arrived at Crewe Works for disposal on 17th January 1985, where it was eventually cut up in mid-December 1988.
