GWR Manor 4-6-0 No 7820 Dinmore Manor and Castle 5069 with an up City of Plymouth holiday express approaching Dainton sunmmit on 6 August 1959.
Peter Kerslake says "The popularity of the 'Holiday Expresses' is clear to see from the substantial load behind Laira's 'Isambard Kingdom Brunel', far in excess of the permitted load for an unassisted 'Castle' over the South Devon banks, hence the need for 'Dinmore Manor' to help as far as Newton Abbot."
