Dean Forest Railway - Mince Pie Specials - 02/01/12 Part 1

A new year and a new railway. I made my first visit to the Dean Forest Railway whilst they were running their mince pie specials. Two trains ran from Lydney Jcn - Parkend and back then a last train ran from Lydney Jcn to Parkend then back as far as Norchard. The motive power for the day was BR(W) 5700 Class 0-6-0PT no.9681 and she gave some very thrashy performances throughout the day.

Shots included are:

- 9681 brings the first train of the day into Norchard.
- Some on board shots to Parkend.
- 9681 takes on water at Parkend then runs round to rejoin her train.
- More on board shots to Norchard.
- 9681 is seen departing Norchard for Lydney Jnc then we rejoin our train.
- 9681 runs round her train at Lydney Jnc ready for the next train.

@GreatWestern175 thank you Ryan =) Glad you enjoyed it. Was kind of good and bad with the sun as it was good that it was out but it does make the scratch on my camcorder's lens show up if I'm having to filming directly into it.

I'l tell you something Kristian, up untill now I havn't bothered to watch any films of this line for years. The way it's been captured hasn't really satisfied me. But what you caught here really shows the artistic beauty of this line right from the start. It was fortunate that you had sun and steam that day.

That was a nice way to start the year off Kris. Liked the silhouette shot at Parkend when the loco was taking water. Looking forward to part two......Tim.
