LOCOMOTIVES & RAILWAYS 2015 (Part 1: January - June)

Yes folks, it's that time of year yet again for LOCOMOTIVES & RAILWAYS end-of-year specials. Last year I made it into three sections, this year it's just two - which is how I'd like to keep it for future years. Part 1 of our look back at 2015 covers the first half of the year from January to June including visits to the Great Central, Mid-Hants, South Devon, North Norfolk, West Somerset, East Somerset, Swanage, Gloucestershire Warwickshire and Dartmouth Steam Railways plus Didcot Railway Centre. There are also various Main Line excursions, despite the issues with West Coast being banned from April through to early May, but highlights of those include the last runs for BR(S) rebuilt 'Merchant Navy'-class 4-6-2 No.35028 "Clan Line" before it was withdrawn for overhaul, and also the welcome return of BR(E) B1-class 4-6-0 No.61306 "Mayflower" which has probably seen the most action of any main line registered locomotive during the course of the year. Locomotives in this video include... - GWR 1400-class 0-4-2T No.1450 - GWR 5101-class 'Large Prairie' 2-6-2T No.4144 - GWR 6959-class 'Modified Hall' 4-6-0 No.6960 "Raveningham Hall" - BR(W) 7800-class 'Manor' 4-6-0 No.7820 "Dinmore Manor" - LSWR M7-class 0-4-4T No.30053 - SECR H-class 0-4-4T No.263 - BR(S) 'West Country'-class 4-6-2 No.34092 "Wells" - BR(S) rebuilt 'Merchant Navy'-class 4-6-2 No.35028 "Clan Line"' - LMSR 'Black 5'-class 4-6-0 No.45379 - LMSR 'Princess Coronation'-class 4-6-2 No.46233 "Duchess of Sutherland" - BR(M) 2MT-class 'Mickey Mouse' 2-6-0 No.46447 - LMSR 8F-class 2-8-0 No.48624 - LNER A4-class 4-6-2 No.4464 "Bittern" - BR(E) B1-class 4-6-0 No.61306 "Mayflower" - LNER D49-class 4-4-0 No.62712 "Morayshire" - BR(E) J72-class 0-6-0T No.69023 "Joem" - BR 'Britannia'-class 4-6-2 No.70000 "Britannia" - BR 'Standard 2'-class 2-6-0 No.78019 - BR 'Standard 4'-class 2-6-4T No.80104 - BR 9F-class 2-10-0 No.92203 "Black Prince" And many, many more...
