Numbers 1, 5 & 9 in Common Lane yard
Number 9 passing under the bridge on her return to Common Lane. The bridge you won't find on any of the S & D maps. Newly constructed by the GLR several years ago. Still the newest construction on the S & D with trains using it???

No 9 on Pineway bank heading for the junction. Passing "SID" on the northern extension line. Sid was over the railway for boiler work & overhaul for the Lynton & Barnstable. Sid was cold on this day but was tried a couple of days after before returning to the L&B for their Steam Gala

No 1 "Amanda" thumping up through Common Lane bank
