47802 drags Black Five 44932 - 24th April 2023
The interesting consist was working a loco & coaching stock move from the Southall Railway Centre north to Carnforth having been used on a London to Plymouth section of the Tour of Great Britain by steam.
and was running only 4 late here having left Southall over 100 minutes late. Helpful pathing going none stop helped hugely here.
It's always a joy seeing a Black Five, and I’ve not filmed many drags like this was pleasing to grab another.
Speaking of the tour of Great Britain I saw that myself on day 4 from this location with 45596 Bahamas at the helm.
