The 'ROYAL WESSEX' with No.34052 "Lord Dowding" - 12/11/2016

The Railway Touring Company's rescheduled The 'ROYAL WESSEX' excursion from Three Bridges to Weymouth ran on Saturday 12th November 2016. The original motive power for this train was BR 'Britannia'-class 4-6-2 No.70013 "Oliver Cromwell", but preparations for its return to the National Network still aren't complete so it was replaced by Icons of Steam's SR rebuilt 'West Country'-class 4-6-2 No.34046 "Braunton", which is still running as scrapped 'Battle of Britain' classmate No.34052 "Lord Dowding". As "Braunton" was only operating the outward leg of the excursion, this is just a one-shot video with the excursion passing through a slightly rainy Totton station.
