In this final part of this fascinating excursion into West Wales by these two tanks, we see them on the 23/10/1993, travelling from Landore in Swansea, having spent the night there, and pass over the Old Loughor Bridge on their way to Pantyffynnon. Having run round at Llanelli, they are seen passing Garnswllt a short distance South of Pantyffynnon. You will then see a very rare movement, where 47822 having detached from the train, South of the Signal Box, enters the yard at Pantyffynnon, where the two tanks then back out to join the waiting train.
On it's way home, we see it at Manordeilo, climbing to Sugar Loaf Summit, and finally North of Pen Y Bont heading for Craven Arms and Shrewsbury.
