Description
Vintage Trains ran 'The Whistling Ghost' railtour from Birmingham New Street to Minehead via the West Somerset Railway.

7029 'Clun Castle' & 37240 ran as 1Z40 on the New Street to Bishops Lydeard, stopping at Kings Norton to pick up passengers - when did that last happen ? Then follows a very smoky getaway with all sorts of commotion from the local wolfpack in the background....

There's some 196, 730 and Voyager units, filmed whilst waiting too....

Thanks for watching
