Description
We're on a mission. 70007 is in the cement and stone terminal at Walsall and has run short of coolant. In that case, you don't risk it failing completely on the return journey, the best course of action is to send out an assisting locomotive - 70016. We run down as 0Z99 which is a standard headcode for assisting locomotive. It's a clear run down to Rugeley and then we scoot down the Chase Line to Walsall. On the way back we pick up 6M82 headcode for our 22 brand new MWA wagons so we have those and the double headed Class 70 to make up our train much to the delight of the rail enthusiasts. On return to Basford Hall we get to see right inside the yard where we leave our rescued train. It's 2:50 of crystal clear footage and hi def sound.
