My Lords!
D1056 Western Sultan stands at Bugle on the Newquay branch, returning to Par, and later Fowey, Plymouth and Paddington working the Western China Clay railtour on 4th December 1976.
There are far too many people on here to name them all but amongst others there are:-
Steve Draper, The "reverend", Chris Guntripp, Brian Winter, Mick Newey, "Rosey", Norman Preedy, Compo, Alan Dickens, Mick Naughton, Paul Loins & Tony Aloszko.
This was (in my opinion) the best diesel railtour ever run.
As you can see the bashers of '76 made no compromises when it came to fashion!
ps: I am on the platform somewhere.
