70013, "Oliver Cromwell", London - Salisbury - Bristol - London 11th Sept 2008
On a mainly dull day 70013, "Oliver Cromwell", worked a Steam Dreams "Cathedrals Express" from London to Salisbury and Bristol. next

70013 at close to 70 mph on the down main between Winchfield and Hook. next next Running a couple of minutes early, the Britannia pacific opens up from a speed restriction over Monxton viaduct, near Red Post Junction, Andover. next Newly restored 70013 puts the dull weather to shame roaring up the Wylie valley near to Bapton. next next A weak sun appeared too late in the day for the 30 or so gathered in the field at Upton Scudamore to watch 70013 returning from Bristol. next In a rousing finale for most photgraphers, the Brtiannia pacific made a superb noise on the 1/70 grade up from Westbury, albeit coinciding with a break in firing, so there was no clag! top  2008 Photos continued  Index
