Having previously decided not to capture the Red Dragon from Tyseley to Cardiff behind 4965 Rood Ashton Hall, I got up this morning and thought I'd give it a go as it was scheduled to pass down the Freight loop at Severn Tunnel. However, the results were very disappointing, as the train passed slowly through, safety valves fully lifted covering the train with steam, and not even one toot for the onlooking crowd. I'd already captured the MURCO oil train and a coal train bound for Aberthaw, so I went back home...Better luck next time!
