LNER Gresley K4 3442 The Great Marquess on the Severn Valley Railway on 22nd April 1989. The Marquess is seen on the Saturday of the Spring Gala weekend. Locations are Oldbury cutting, leaving Highley southwards and northwards, Hay Bridge and Knowlesands Tunnel. 3442 had arrived on the SVR in 1972, but only saw very limited use before being withdrawn due to boiler problems. It subsequently underwent a thorough overhaul and was ready for some trial runs during November 1988. From 1989 onwards, 3442 was a regular performer on the SVR until withdrawal from service in 1997, and it left the SVR altogether in 2006.
At 1:44 was there a signal failure? Marquess appears to pass a signal at danger although there is a man with a green flag!
