Description
Having tracked a Railadventure service to West Hampstead station on a cold winter morning not quite knowing what train was running it I was really surprised to find 4 Class 20s, two from Swietelsky and two from Romic (including 20007, the oldest diesel locomotive still running mainline) chopping their way through the station!

The sound of the locomotives was deafening, and this is definitely one of the luckiest spots I've ever had, I also felt glad to be able to catch both class 378 liveries as I waited for the service to arrive.
