With the weak winter light beginning to burn through the veil of high cloud 43010 brings the 10.30 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads to halt at Chippenham station. 43010 is an early power car being built in 1975/6 and introduced as part of frontline Western Region set 253005. Unfortunately, this set's other power car, 43011, is no more as it was destroyed in the Ladbroke Road crash in October 1999.
