Two views of taken soon after entering traffic on the Mid-Hants Railway. It took the place of W51405 in the Class 117 set. Seen at Arlesford on the 12th August 2006. Carl Watson

An innovative idea to use a single 117 car was tried, with great success, on the Mid Hants Railway during the Spring Steam gala in March 2007, when W51400 was paired with Beattie 2-4-0 30585 on the Alresford-Ropley shuttle. The first three shots are of this. Ian McDonald

W51400 had one engine running to provide air and of course when going back from Ropley to Alresford down the hill the cab of W51400 was leading and therefore could provide braking thus negating the need for a runround manoeuvre at either end. It could also provide power if the steam engine had failed but on this weekend this was not necessary. Ian McDonald

There was also a terrific double header with the Terrier (ex 32662) and the Beattie Well Tank (30585). All four pictures were taken on the 2nd March 1987. Ian McDonald
