Looks as OC and Tornado were both burning tyres. I wonder if it will be like that next weekend?

Nice shot. I can remember seeing the same engine in a very sorry state shunting wagons at Carlise.

The Pathfinder brouchure was listing a trip behind Tornado to Carmarthen July 25th from Bristol, I was wondering if the footbridges at Filton Bank will be strong enough to cope with the visitors.
