    Leave the missus in bed with a cup of coffee and dive out to catch Battle of Britain class loco Tangmere on its way from Brighton to Faversham with a charter for the Shepherd Neame brewery. For those who don't know Spitfire on the nameboard is the name of another of the Battle of Britain locomotives as well as a Shepherd Neame beer.
    This is at Falmer a few miles out of Brighton the loco is working up a 1 in 200ish grade to Falmer Tunnel then its a coast downhill to Lewes.

    37248 is on the rear of the train as it reverses at Eastbourne and Ashford.

    Wow, tanks for sharing. Wish I could have been there, only riding on the train. ;)
