7812 CAMBRIAN COAST MONOCHROME

CAMBRIAN LINE 1965?

GWR Manor 4-6-0 7812 'Erlestoke Manor' was adorned with white painted embellishments and 'Cambrian Coast Express' headboard, to recreate the Manors last days of operation on the Cambrian line in 1965, for what would be its final Gala appearance before being withdrawn for overhaul on 31st December 2017.

Here 7812 passes some of the remaining lineside telegraph poles and wires on the SVR as it heads towards Sterns with the 09:14 Kidderminster - Bridgnorth service on 22nd September 2017 during the SVR Autumn Steam Gala.
