On a glorious April day Ex GWR Castle 5029 Nunney Castle worked the 7th Day leg of The Great Britain 1V from Preston to Bristol Temple Meads in the capable hands of West Coast Railways Driver Ray Poole. In this video I've also included some diesel locos on various interesting duties. Firstly we see 66250 working the 6V75 Dee Marsh to Margam , followed by WCR's 47760 which was the support loco for the Steam hauled special on the 0Z51 Carnforth to Bristol Temple Meads. 5029 Nunney Castle then follows with 11 coaches in tow making a steady climb up the 1:100 gradient of Llanfihangel Bank, with Driver Poole taking it easy due to the fire risk currently in force. The special is the seen taking water at Magor on the South Wales Main Line, between Newport and Severn Tunnel Jnc. Finally, a little further East we see DBS liveried 59206 heading a Newport AD Jnc to Westbury working on the up main, soon followed by a refreshed 5029 starting the final part of the journey to Bristol Temple Meads
