Clun Castle STORMS For Scarborough - Chasing 7029 Around Yorkshire
Clun Castle worked a train to Scarborough from Birmingham, and it was a good one to chase. There are quite a few shots as it is quite easy to chase when it has water stops at Pontefract Baghill going both ways.
As a big Castle fan, I was really hoping to get some good full power shots. Unfortunately on the outbound working the train was given single yellow aspects and as a result the train was going quite slow in my shots sadly. The return working was a bit better, with a good shot at Model Engineers, however due to dry weather the Castle wasn't worked too hard. The final shot back at Pontefract was really good, the loco made a good noise as it disappears out of view with some slip.
Also, it was a very windy day and unfortunately most of the shots are very shaky, but I still wanted to upload this.
Thanks for watching, quite a bit more to come!
