50023, 16.30 London Paddington-Penzance, Castle Cary station 
 50023 'Howe' thunders through Castle Cary at full line speed having descended from Brewham Summit with the (SuO) 16.30 London Paddington to Penzance working. The dramatic sky behind had passed over Castle Cary a short time before and had dropped some spectacularly heavy rain! It's a shame that I had not quite got the locomotive positioned a little later so that the front was not in the shadow of the footbridge. 50023 made it into preservation but was cut up for spares at Barrow Hill in 2004.
