Nunney Returns to the Torbay in Style! 5029 Works its First Railtour after an Extensive Overhaul.
Seen here hauling it's first English Riviera Express to Kingswear working hard up the banks of the Dartmouth Steam Railway. Despite the recent dry spell leading to a steam fire risk , 5029 was doing more work than anticipated over the gradients. Once again, it was great to see a Castle working into Devon in its home territory.
Thanks for watching.
