Saturday 5th April 2014 - Gloucester / Warwickshire Railway

         DINMORE MANOR ENTERS REVENUE SERVICE

 

               Leaving Winchcombe on the 10.00 am service from Toddington to Cheltenham Race          Course, 7820 climbs to Greet Tunnel on her first public revenue earning trip

 

                  Driver Ian Beale keeps a watchful eye as he eases 7820 towards the tunnel.

 Note the tea can - proper job!

 

 

Steam billows from the roof as 7820 makes steady progress through the tunnel

 

 

                          Although not a race day, this Black Beauty runs round at Cheltenham
                                            - so we have reached the end of the beginning!
