of the Watercress Line number 196 'Errol Lonsdale' has just worked a short empty coaching stock service in from the carriage sidings. 196 still wears its LMR (Longmoor Military Railway) colours and insignia. The name carried by the locomotive was applied just over two years previously to this photograph in March 1978 with the naming carried out by Major General Errol Lonsdale, himself, Colonel Commandant of the Royal Corps of Transport from 1969–1974.
