Rugd1022 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The Maybach (and Paxman) magic didn't disappoint during the last day of the SVR Diesel Gala... apparently, there were other locos running but I didn't really notice them! During one of the runs in darkness heading north, D821 sounded particularly good with the Maybach soundtrack echeoing in the valley, shortly after which the rear engine gave up the ghost, but just as in BR days, it carried on gamely on one engine.... about as close as you can get to 'the real thing' in 2011. A top day all round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 A few more from last weekend's Hydraulic-fest . I suppose I ought to have gone for the other traction too, but having missed the West Somerset gala in the Summer I was in need of a 'fix'! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
