    ''On Saturday is the 'Wst Somerset Steam Express' railtour, originating at Paddington and due to be hauled by Stanier ‘Black Five’ 4-6-0 45212 with class 47812 supporting. This train runs right through to Minehead, bringing another famous loco to the WSR ( 45212 was one of the very last steam locos to operate in BR service back in 1968)''.

    Just seen it on BL video camera with a Crompton on it! I assume that's what worked from Pad.

    No Crompton on the excursion just 45212 and the 47 on the rear. The Crompton at BL would be the service train.

    Bit of an unexpected bonus after my trip to the Royal International Air Tattoo today... Got off my train at Reading to find 45212 pulling in two platforms over, would've been rude not to pop down for a picture!
