Description
20 years ago I was out to record some specials for the Rugby International at Cardiff; Wales won this time! Plus the latest deliver of 8 more class 66 for Freightliner. At the time they were still being built in London, Ontario, Canada.
A detail that some enthusiasts are still not aware of. More from 20 years ago next time.
