Driver Chris Bowden strikes a heroic pose for the camera aboard the cab of GWR 3205 at the station in Buckfastleigh. Number 3205 was built by the GWR in Swindon Railway Works in 1946 and is the sole surviving member of the 120-strong 2251 class of locomotives designed by C.B. Collett. Notice this is a right-hand drive locomotive. It is the engine chosen to appear on the cover of the 2012 folder.
