The Railway Observer is the name carried by the RCTS' monthly magazine. Re-built from 56018, 69003 is the fourth locomotive to carry this name with the plate having been unveiled a short time prior to this photograph being taken. The RCTS had partnered with Barrow Hill Roundhouse with the Saturday of the three-day 150 + 2 event being a Members' Day. RCTS members gained a reduced fee for access and a number of events, including the naming of 69003, took place. Andy and I met Mike at Barrow Hill as he is a long-term RCTS member.
