All too brief steam video

Post by speedbird591 »

I wish I'd been a bit quicker with the camera at Bristol Temple Meads today. I was waiting for my sprinter to come in when a classic Great Western double header slipped through the station and looked amazing. By the time I pressed record it was just slipping out of view. The lead engine was Nunney Castle, the second was a Hall class but I didn't catch the name.

Failed again ... :(
