71000 'Duke Of Gloucester' on 5Z46 - 05/09/11

Ex-BR 8P Class 4-6-2 no.71000 'Duke Of Gloucester' was on a loco movement from Bristol - Fletton (Nene Valley Railway). I had planned to see her up the yard at Swindon then see her depart Highworth Loop. This didn't really go to plan as when my dad checked the times on the works computer in the cabin it said she ran straight through 15 minutes early, all hope seemed lost but, as we were on our way back home we noticed a bunch of cars parked on the side of the road and low and behold there she was sat in the loop. Now, I had little to no time to set up and the fence is taller than me so I had to shoot over it so I apologise that the video is quite shaky and not perfectly level, but I'm just happy I was able to get some footage of her.
