My first railway visit of 2013 was to the Bodmin & Wenford Railway for their Winter Steam Up event. This event featured 2 home fleet locomotives running alongside GWR Railmotor 93 which has been based at the railway for several months. 4247 took charge of the passenger trains while newly overhauled pannier tank 6435 took charge of the 'Auto Train'. It was a good day all round as thankfully the weather was behaved and there was no wind and rain like the previous few weeks and it was great to see the Railmotor running once again.
