One of the first batch Romanian built grids is seen making a rare appearance in Devon. 56010 can be seen racing through Starcross along the shores of the River Exe heading for Kingswear and then on the return leg we see her crossing Greenway Viaduct with the River Dart in the background on the Paignton and Kingswear private railway. Finally we see her screaming through Torre station on the Paignton branch. The tour was the 'Cream T' and the date was the 6th May 1995.
Here are some details of the tour...
