Duke Of Gloucester through Newton Abbot

71000 Duke of Gloucester is seen here, firstly pulling into Newton Abbot Station for watering.
The second clip is of the Duke heading along Aller Junction towards Dainton.
Shortly after this clip the Duke slipped to a stand on Dainton before regaining momentum with the aid of the Class 67.
The last clips show the Duke storming through Newton Abbot on the return run of this day out to Plymouth

FOUND IT!!

Seen on the forum that they had problems with the 67, and even though the the 67 driver acknowleged the Dukes call for assistance, they couldn't get the 67 to push.

They had to shut it down and restart it again then start off from standing

best go look harder!!

I have been to that side a couple of times, there is nothing to get in the way, and you definately know it will be there if its due to water!

Well Captured Glen, its no wonder she got Stuck on Dainton, the diesel wasn't doing anything, and she wasnt going very fast when she started the climb either!!!
