With Fairwood Junction signal Box catching the autumnal sunlight 40081 and 40084 bring the outward leg of the MKT Railtour from Paddington to the South Devon Railway's terminus at Kingswear out of Westbury and on to the mainline. As is pretty common with railtours (then and now), it was running nearly an hour late. The railtour ran to Castle Cary, south to Yeovil, then taking the L&SWR route to Exeter and beyond.
