The Cambrian Coast Express. It's the early BR one, as opposed to the more showy late 50s one, but BR nonetheless. As far as I'm aware with the exception of the Cheltenham Flyer and the Cornish Riviera Express (which had wooden boards), the GWR didn't go in for headboards at all.

it's a bit odd them putting a BR headboard on what is very much a GW charter isn't it?

I can be a bit of a rivetcounter at times, embarassingly. But I'm out there volunteering, no armchairs for me!
Thanks for all your fantastic videos.

Thanks.
It's amazing how a steam loco can create so much noise / effort and still move quite slowly!
