7802 Dainton 16 March 1996

At barely more than walking speed, Manor Class 4-6-0 7802 Bradley Manor makes a tremendous effort to conquer the formidable Dainton Bank with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z34 13:34 Totnes to Worcester Shrub Hill 'Dart-Exe Cursion' railtour on 16 March 1996. I really thought that at any minute it was going to loose all grip and go into a mega slip, but it managed to make it into Dainton Tunnel without either slipping or stalling. Surprisingly 47712 on the rear of the train did not appear to be helping at all, merely adding to the weight!
