Class 50s Takeover The Dean Forest Railway for one day only! All the action with 50008 & 50021.
As 50021's spell at the railway draws to a close. The opportunity was sought to have both 50s running with 50008 taking Rodney back home after event. This gave a rare opportunity to have a pair of hoovers running at DFR at the same time. With a tanker train and a passenger set the pair took it in turns throughout the day before top and tailing all 11 TTAs complying the full set of tanks and a dead 50 on the rear!
Sit back and enjoy a busy day packed with action at the Dean Forest Railway as the 50s work the line alongside Pannier Tank 9681.
