Description
I've had many requests for "more memories" of busier times with mixed freights. So we go back to a day at Bristol Temple Meads in 1997, with double headed 37s and my favorite clip; an 08 moving tanks around the station with a guards van leading. Also varied HST liveries and the original sound we all remember of their departures. Video clip no.1280
