A spontaneous decision was made to grab 34046 ‘Braunton’ on The Welsh Marches Express. Starting at Birmingham International the tour would be Diesel hauled to Bristol Temple Meads before the Bulleid would take over for the run over the Welsh Marches to Shrewsbury.
Starting at Abergavenny 34046 can be seen at speed passing the signal box taking a run at Llanvihangel Bank with the Diesel giving a good shove, thanks to @LiamsLocos for manning the camera for the shot off the footbridge at Abergavenny. The next shot was at the now closed foot crossing at the end of the platform. At Hereford the loco would take on water allowing us to overtake. This allowed a shot a Leominster (again thanks to Liam) and a shot at Ludlow. I met @harnettyrailways here who had a long whistle arranged. For the return journey I wanted to try a shot I saw at Craven Arms near to Stokesay Castle so I headed out with @JakeBSteam to have a look. The final two shots show ‘Braunton’ after a water stop at Craven Arms. Again thanks to Jake for manning the second camera.
