Launch day for 6695 officially at the Swindon & cricklade railway 18/3/23

The Swindon and Cricklade railway 5600 class 6695 was officially launched on the 18th of March 2023. This is the very first time officially running on the railway from her extent. Overhaul done Blunston station. I was very honoured to have one of the first trips pulled by the engine. I had an amazing blast and wonderful day out, and glad to get some behind-the-scenes of the class 70 E6003 sir Herbert Walker getting ready for the upcoming diesel gala. I hope to see this engine run more in the future.
