This locomotive is more usually numbered 76079 and if you look closely at the cab-side number you can see that the second 0 is on a patch. I'm guessing that the change of number is related to the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway theme of the event, but I don't know. Photo by Chris McKenna18/03/2006.
