During our visit to Swanage to cover the DORSET VOYAGER naming ceremony, we had a nice picnic in the public viewing area opposite the Swanage MPD. Just in time for a spot of shunting activity with D3591, The Swanage "Gronk" :-)
The following photos were taken in an attempt to show how the 117 DMU and BR Standard 4 80104 loco in the goods shed siding at Swanage Station swapped places.
