37227 running day, Sat August 20th 2022
Arriving at Chinnor in a fast car courtesy of GK we were surprised to see the Clayton 8568 now looking superb in blue shunting around. When 8568 backed onto the stock we were well pleased at having 8568 again at Chinnor for the first time in years.
8568 is back at Chinnor and about to work the 0945 to Risborough on August 20th 2022

8568 approaching Horsenden Crossing, Aug 20th 2022
A right time 0945 departure and on the return run we were treated to some superb thrash (both engines) and the distinctive turbo charger howl.
To the relief of a fair few 37227 had overcome her fuel issues and proceeded to work the next 4 round trips. Loads of thrash despite only being a 4 coach rake and much waving passing the cricket crowds at Bledlow CC.
An enjoyable local day out.
