Welshman Delight

            BR Steam 70013 100501 Cardiff Pengham

Two views of preserved traction on the Main line from different era's.

One of the last Steam Loco's to operate on the main line under BR ownership was Britannia Class 7P 70013 Oliver Cromwell. 
Having been used on the 15 Guinea special in August 1968, it was claimed for the Nation by the National Railway Museum and kept at the Bressingham Steam Meseum.
In 2008 it was decided to return 70013 to the mainline and this shot was taken during this time.
The engine was used on the RTC's Welshman on 1st May 2010 seen leaving Cardiff past the former Pengham Freightliner Terminal where we were stabled on the stock of a Compass Tours train from Stafford to Cardiff. 
This was just a few days before cracks were found in the firebox which meant it was withdrawn from service for repairs to be made.
