7029 Churchill Heath 6 April 2019

Castle Class 4-6-0 7029 Clun Castle passes Churchill Heath on 6 April 2019 with the Vintage Trains 1Z72 17:35 Oxford to Dorridge 'Cotswold Venturer' railtour. I deliberately chose this location, as the fairly strong wind would be blowing the exhaust away from the train. Unfortunately, I misjudged how early the loco would be easing off to pass through Kingham station, and so while it could clearly be heard working hard for several miles before it came into view, it was little more than coasting here, and there was no exhaust! Of course as it disappeared into the distance it could be heard working hard again! 47773 (D1755) can be seen on the rear of the train.
