caerphillycastleproductions's video: The Great Britain XII Day 1-3 - April 2019

Storm Hannah greeted the Duchess of Sutherland on Day 1 of the GB XII in the South West. Two locations I chose to witness 6233 tackle the Devon Banks were Whiteball & Rattery. Day 2 - Saw 6233 climb Hemerdon bank on its return from Plymouth. The powerful loco struggled to get up the 1: 42 climb stopping briefly close to the summit. Before successfully hauling its ten coaches over the top. The video clip covers the climb. The second location was on the climb to Whitehall tunnel from the West. The train returned to Bristol TM before it's return run back to Taunton via Westbury & Frome. I videoed the train again at Charlton close to Cog Load Jn. The train was then hauled by 7828 Odney Manor & 53808 for a trip along the West Somerset Railway to Minehead. Day 3 - I visited one of my favourite locations North of Abergavenny on the climb to Llanvihangel summit. Enjoy this video which captures the Duchess working hard.
