GWR 6024 King Edward 1 & LNER 60163 Tornado 26 Nov 11

On a frustrating and blustery day out, here are 2 short clips featuring GWR 6024 King Edward 1 on the Pathfinder Tours "Welsh Marches" (steam Eastleigh-Shrewsbury return); and new build LNER A1 60163 Tornado in charge of Steam Dreams "Cathedrals Express" (steam London Paddington-Shrewsbury return).
The King is seen near Llanvihangel, with Tornado approaching Ludlow racecourse.

@wooltman  many thanks for viewing and your comments, Chris. Let's hope the kids become the future supporters of preserved and mainline steam.

@khankadet Many thanks Chris. To be honest I'd not set out to use either of the locations, but as you say they provided a good contrast.

@acw71000 Thanks Austin. I'd really set out to see more of the King in action, but it turned out to be one of those days.

@bkendlerA4 Hi Barry, many thanks for viewing. It's a long story as to why "4472" ended up in my name, lol. You're quite correct about the clip of T - and not the best of locations. Thanks for the sub and I'll catch up with your vids later
