Another trip to see Tornado cross the level crossing at Bollo Lane (South Acton) (0:57) with the Peterborough to Winchester Cathedrals Express, this time in it's smart BR 1949 style blue livery. The sun was out too, but there was no steam, smoke or whistles this time.
Then there follows freightliner 66511 hauling Bardon Aggregates stone hoppers (1:57).
Finally we see GBRF 66724 "Drax Power Station" hauling Metropolitan Railway loco No 12 "Sarah Siddons", (3:49) the load being barely half of the length of the class 66. The steamer and Sarah Siddons were booked to pass each other around Brentford. In the end the latter stopped at the preceding signal below the District Railway bridge, even though the crossing barriers had come down, and stood there for around 50 minutes.
