LPPC DSL BW 0635 Exeter loco stabling point on a damp Monday morning (we think 26th March 1973) sees the two Western Class 52s (including D1041) seen earlier in typical later-life uncared-for external condition, along with an equally unkempt Class 08 D3797 (later 08630) sharing space with two Sulzer Type 2 Class 25s and a Class 08 waiting for their next duties. Remarkably, there are also a Brush Type 4 Class 47, a Class 35 Hymek, another 08 pilot and a Peak Class 45. One wonders what could have been the traffic requirements for all these locomotives. Keywords: BR, Western, 1973, Exeter St Davids, Shed, depot, Class 08, Class 52, Class 47, Class 45, D3797, 08630,
