Horn Free

Last year FM Rail ran a couple of coal train trials between Daw Mill and Rugeley. Unfortunately they were unsuccesful but it did produce one of the workings of the year. On the 25th July 31190 + 31601 + 31454 triple headed 6G20 Daw Mill to Rugeley. Here they are making a right racket as they pass Streetly Gate running around three hours late.

My Lords that's marvellous.

Who could have imagined 3 31's in 3 different liveries working some rusty old coal hoppers across the 'Park ? !!

You just made it in time as well.... a great video !

Luckily thanks to Saltley PSB holding the train up for a little bit, I managed to get to Streetly Gate with seconds to spare. Well worth the effort to capture it.

Got the video to download, but it was a struggle. Josh.

If speeded up the horn would sound like an old fashioned police siren !!
Outrageousness gone mad !!!
