Duke of Gloucester

Standard Class 8 pacific, No. 71000, 'Duke of Gloucester' makes a steamy exit from Yeovil Junction with the empty stock of the
return Weymouth to London 'Sunny South Special'. 'The Duke' has just turned on the turntable at Yeovil and will now return with
its empty train to Weymouth where it will pick up its passengers for the return journey to London. This section will involve two
reversals, one at Yeovil Penn Mill and one at Weymouth. A class '31' diesel loco will be at the opposite end of the train to assist
in this complicated manoeuvre. (16th August 2006 - Photo by Roger Stronell)
