Weather and road works (single lane waiting) conspired against me, but got two reasonables.

wow, stunning shots. I am curious though, what is the 2nd coach used for (the one after the enclosed coach), it has a totally different look. I sure wish they would repaint the locos in a shade to match.
Not quite on the rails.

Looks like the generator car - remember that the other end has an observation car.
