It's 06.30 and the Budamar Group are already encouraging us to 'Think Ecologistically' as 193 807 (the Chamois one) heads east with a matching set of VTF Tagnpps cereal wagons.

The combination of the green background, early low 'golden' sun and orange/brown ballast have unfortunately (to my mind anyway) somehow blended with the predominantly green and orange livery of the locomotive rendering it slightly less conspicuous than I would have hoped*, one of Budamar's plainer white locos would have suited better but this of course couldn't be anticipated.

*If I was after a 'camouflage' effect then job done!
