CLASS 37 No. D6948 arrived at the West Somerset Railway (WSR) on April 29 for a two-month visit.
The privately owned loco is in the care of the Growler Group, based at Toddington on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway.
The blue-route loco is helping with WSR timetable services during the weight restriction period, and worked several days from May 4.
It will make two gala appearances: the first is the 40th anniversary event of the railway reopening to Bishops Lydeard on June 8-9 (with ‘Hymek’ No. D7017), followed by the diesel gala on June 20-22, and mixed traction day on June 23.
