Description
Rood Ashton Hall, GWR 4965 arrives on the Red Dragon. Taken from the rooftop cafe at Jacobs Antique Market we get these excellent shots of her arrival and subsequent light engine more for the turnround to Newport and return. Also we see light engine 56105/078,66712,66002,66086,60017,60001. I've included the Murco Tanks return empties as well as loaded coal coming down from Cwm Bargoed to Aberthaw. Finally light engine 31285 ends this longer than usual clip. Many thanks to the cafe for access to the roof, which was busy for the departure; that's why I could not get the full run past !!
