Description
Sadly a shorter video than planned due to operational delays and the ugly weather about today. I was hoping to see 37407 and the triple Freightliner Shed working off Kings Norton however being soaked through and very cold curtailed that.

What we do see though is 1957 vintage 20007 escorting TFW Class 398 tram 398025 from Old Dalby back down to its home at Pengam Sidings with its modestly younger class mate 20205 from 1967. Amazing how reliable these locos are for their age - Fantastic design and build.
