6024 Kind Edward I and 60163 Tornado seen at various locations around the South Wales area on 26/11/11.
6024 was pulling the Marches Monarch railtour from Bristol to Shrewsbury and back and Tornado the Cathedrals Express from Paddington to Shrewsbury and back.
Shot 1 - 6024 at Severn Tunnel Junction
Shot 2 - 6024 at Llanvihangel Bank, Abergavenny
Shot 3 - 60163 at Goetre Fawr
Shot 4 - 6024 at Severn Tunnel Junction
We did plan to film Tornado on it's return through Severn Tunnel Junction but after 2 hours+ in the freezing cold wind and rain and with Tornado obviously heavily delayed these plans were reluctantly abandoned.
Thanks to GJDobbzy and JBTEvans.
Great shot of KE1 at Severn Tunnel Junction. Going with real pace. Shame it shut off just over half-way through the station. I've seen several shots of KE1 at Llanvihangel. Superb and volcanic. Another volcanic shot at Goetre Fawr this time of Tornado. Made more moody by the dark, sombre sky in the background. Nice night shot at Severn Tunnel Junction. I've subscribed to your channel. I filmed Tornado at the start of its day, at PAD. Please look, comment and if you like subscribe. Barry

@bkendlerA4 Yes KE1 was slowing down for a water stop just after STJ as we drove past it on the way up to Llanvihangel. I was very lucky the weather stayed relatively friendly and I got shots I am happy with. We were also fortunate to have great crews on both engines all day. I will take a look at your video now. Thanks for the lovely comment. Glad to have some feedback!
