In colourful EWS Freight livery, four UK Class 66 diesel locomotives stand on Didcot sidings on a sunny day in 2004.


The front locomotive is Class 66153 and behind is Class 66016.  The third '66' number is unreadable.

Above the locos a thunderstorm threatens to engulf Didcot station.  In fact a short while after taking this picture the heavens did open.  The after effects of which can be seen on the platform as First liveried Class 166205 3-car dmu pulls into the station elsewhere on the blog.

Class 43126 Livery Intercity 125 HST, Didcot Station

Trainspotting First Great Western Trains, Class 43126 HST Intercity 125, built in June 1979 and allocated to Landore T&RSMD (Swansea), at Didcot station on the 6th October 2004, displaying the somewhat bizarre and none-too-popular 'Fag Packet' livery introduced around 1998.


The FGW train livery was apparently nicknamed by some enthusiasts 'Fag Packet', due to its resemblance to the packaging of a particular brand of Dunhill cigarettes, while others say it looked more like a packet of Golden Virginia rolling tobacco.
