(Vid 124) - Britannia and the Mogul on the West Somerset Railway, Part 1

Whilst on holiday in what was the previous day the 'Costa Del Somerset', I heard an unusual steam whistle, enquiries revealed that 70000 Britannia was on test after some wheel bearing repairs and would go on a test run on the 5th July with GWR Mogul loco No 9350. So not wishing to miss this opportunity a return to Bishops Lydeard was purchased to sample this unique experience. 70000 performed well and was out on her own the next 3 days at least having to do 500 miles before being unleashed on the main line again. The weather had turned and as a result you can see me trying to protect the lens from the rain.
