By far the most impressive engine i ever saw on the Sutton Park line was the unique restored 3-cylinder 8P 4-6-2 71000 Duke of Gloucester heading the "Welsh Marches Express" from Bescot to Bristol on 28th May 2005. The loco came thundering up the bank from Ryecroft in charge of thirteen packed coaches at a rate that seemed dramatically in excess of the 45mph linespeed along here ! Once a rusting inhabitant of Barry scrapyard the loco has been transformed into an awesome monster ! Enclosed 3 shaky video edits...
