31 601 at Kyle on 1Q06

31601's driver starts his "pre-flight checks", preparing the loco to work back to Inverness with 1Q06. Slightly unusual for a pair of 31s, both locos are named. 31601 was named "Gauge '0' Guild 1956-2006" on 30/09/2006, and carried these plates until 30/04/2015. It has since been renamed "Devon Diesel Society", christened on 22/05/2015 at Buckfastleigh.
