50021 was a guest locomotive for the gala, and often worked top-and-tail with Class 55 Diesel no. 55009 "Alycidon", which can just be made out at the end of the train.
This was a first for me, in that I was working on the east side of the line at this location (at a more elevated point), rather than the west side.
