D8142: Louder than Bombs!

As Morrisey once said....

The view (and row) from the cab of Class 20 D8142 as she works a fitted freight at the Llangollen Railway Spring Diesel Gala on Sunday 13th April 2008. These workings allow passengers to ride in the guards vans at either end of the freight. The climb through Berwyn tunnel is clearly being enjoyed by all on the veranda (and in the cab!)

Sadly the loco left the railway on December 8th 2008 after 14 years residence.

Excellant sound, felt like i was vertually on the footplate you've got a quality camera with excellant mic there pal.

Cheers! You're feet away from the exhaust port on a 20, so there's always plenty of thrash. Still day and slow speed meant no wind noise on the mic as well. Just a shame we can't repeat this at Llan any more : <
