  • Back in Blue & on the main line again! No.7 attacked Llanvihangel summit both ways with the Welsh Marches Express from Bristol TM to Shrewsbury & return.
    This was No.7 first main line outing in Blue since its major overhaul.
    There were 12 coaches plus the D1924 at the rear
    The tour started in Paignton, Devon & was hauled by two class 47's to Bristol for the steam leg.
    60007 performed magnificently throughout. Not a leak to be seen.
    It was wonderful to see an A4 at speed again.
    The train was 20 mins down at Abergavenny on the outward run & 15 mins late departing Hereford on the return.
    It seemed to fly up Llanvihangel on the return but I guess that was because of assistance from the rear propelling it forward.

    Impressive stuff both sides of Llanvihangel. You did well to keep the traffic noise down at the first location

      Decided not to drive too far on this rail tour & stayed around Abergavenny. I had to wait over 7 hours between shots but it was worth it. They are my favourite locations. Kept microphone low down to try & eliminate traffic noise. Thanks, Geraint
