50044, recently overhauled at Cardiff, is seen arriving at Kidderminster to collect 50135 for movement to the East Lancs Railway diesel gala. Other locos were to be collected from the Midland Railway Centre on the journey north.
I had time to travel to Rowley Regis for more photos. The locos were booked into Rowley loop, but did not stop there. I thought they might stop in Langley Green loop instead and caught a train to Smethwick – they were in Langley loop, and I had time to find a location for a shot at Smethwick.
