The Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway is host to No. 6430, owned by Hugh Shipton & based at the Llangollen Railway, over July 21/22/28/29, and on the first three of those dates it is in use with autotrailer W225W, working in push-pull mode - a first for the line.
The fourth shot is from the 29th, when the loco was running with 3 Mk. 1's in tow. I was lucky enough to be handed the shovel for a bit of the 3rd and the 4th runs of the day. It is worth noting that the loco blows off at 165psi and is virtually useless below 130, so there's not much room for error. Allot more work involved than my previous go with 9682! |
