GWR 64xx Class 0-6-0PT 6435 (2)
Sunday 13th September 2009 was the second day of the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway’s 140th Anniversary Gala and there was plenty to see on the line with an intensive timetable in operation. The main train services today were top and tailed by two steam engines. One was GWR 64xx Class 0-6-0PT 6435. My train was delayed for some while at Furness Sidings Station as they could not lift the brakes on this locomotive. Evidentially they had had the same problem on the previous day. They sorted it out eventually
