Amazing shot and capture there Anthony! Nice sounds and livery. Another gooden from you! Good tones from her, interesting to see the Thumper! Very nice indeed! Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing!

[@AnthonyFurnival]

@@TrainTraction Thanks - that’s a 4TC rather than a thumper - still mark 1s but no engine - designed for use in push pull formation with a compatible diesel 🙂
