SWMBO and I were visiting the outlaws near Tiverton today and I suggested that we went early and tried to catch the Royal Duchy excursion which was being pulled by 46100 Royal Scot.
I could only try and pick a spot via Google maps and in the end it turned out not to be as open a view of the track as I had hoped. In particular, the foliage you can see below in the bottom LH corner belonged to a tree which was very close to the track and precluded any reasonable side view.
So I made do with what was available and the result is below (at least we had some smoke!).
