Two Andrew Barclay 0-4-0DM locomotives - Nos. WD 824 / 70043 Grumpy and No. 70042 Overlord (visiting from Chatham Dockyard) - set off to run around their train at Oldland Common station on the Avon Valley Railway during the line's 1940s Weekend: Salute to Shunters event. These two locomotives had not been seen together for the past 70 years. The northern extremity of the line can be seen beneath the overbridge in the distance.
