Interesting footage. Presumably the ex-works Peak has been having some 'running-in' issues and has been pushed in to the loop by a class 47 and then the class 33 had been sent to take the train forward. Presumably it was going in the right direction, as the 47 would probably have been a better choice! Also amazing to see the Sulzer Type 2 pushing what looks like a brake van at speed, or could it possibly be once of those gauging wagons which looked similar?
Great seeing a peak on MGR train 👍🏻 being 14 in the start of the 70s it was my favourite time train spotting 👍🏻 So this was a good memory video 😊
Tremendous stuff! Marton Jcn, somewhere to cycle past these days... And the Crompton coming to the rescue of the peak... Proper 'little' engines!
Thanks John, nice mixture there. Cheers for now.
