Duke of Gloucester 71000 at Dainton

[dm3830]

Very nice. Of course in Australia we wouldnt call Dainton a bank! Bring the Duke to NSW please !!

[cogidubnus1953]

Now that's what I call a proper ascent of Dainton Bank... not a poofy double-headed GWR piss-take ... I still reckon it's not quite as character-full as a Bulleid in good form, (eg Tangmere over the same stretch), but this is a REAL loco!

Well what about 3440 city Of Truro, stil holder of Dainton's Westbound record! 3440, the first to make 100mph! So much for girly...

youre optimistic if you want to see an engine do 100mph uphill.

[keelar001]
