December Happenings including South West Trains launched their refurbished 159102 today with a run to Salisbury. Despite poor weather pictures are here of the inbound run to Waterloo and the official first trip to the Cathederal City. A bounus was 45231 passing with a charter also going to Salisbury. The last diverted Saturday freights of the year, caused by line closure through Basingstoke, was an opportunity to meet with Red Van Man for a days photting on his turf. Thanks to Pete for being the chauffeur.
