D1013 'Western Ranger' pokes its nose out of Westbury's diminutive one-road maintenance shed. This Western was one of the last to be withdrawn following railtour duties on 27.02.77. I think that along with the withdrawal of the Deltics in 1982 the finishing of the Westerns must rank as one of the most significant moments of the diesel era. At the time of writing, it's quite possible that the HSTs will be up there too; thoughts anybody?
