A truly brilliant day, I couldn't have asked for much better. Here are 4965 Rood Ashton Hall and 5043 Earl of Mount Edgecumbe, double heading a train from Birmingham to Didcot and back. This tour ran via the 'Golden Valley' and the climbs either side of Sapperton Tunnel were made in magnificent style. The weather forecast couldn't have been more wrong. Bright sun for pretty much the whole day!

Locations are Frampton Mansell and just after Kemble.

  • My name is Phillip Griffin lol. Small world.

  • Absolutely stunning video! You can't beat steam in cold weather. I'm a big fan of steam in the UK. We DO NOT hold a candle to steam preservation here in the USA to you folks. Well done! I very much hope I to visit your country in the not too distant future and enjoy some of these locomotives in person.

  • Just found this one and what a find! Became a 5043 devotee last year at Carlisle on the Pride of Swindon tour and was so impressed by this fine loco; a tribute to those who maintain and run her. We don't get enough GWR stuff at Carlisle or even into Scotland, now that would pull the crowds!! Ta for sharing this great vid, I've faved it. Ken

  • I like it better if 4965 uses the 4000 gallon tender.
