Description
One of my favorite clips from the 1990s. Open day at Cranmore, Merehead 75th Anniversary, was my 1st sight of 66001 and this superb steam extravaganza as 2 visiting locos, 92203 ans USA S160 5197, pulled 1700 tonnes up the gradient in the yard. TURN UP THE VOLUME. Some climbs are double headed too...more to come soon
