Midland Railway, July 4

Whilst staying on a conference weekend at the Hayes, Swanwick, Derbyshire, the opportunity arose to visit the nearby Midland Railway at Butterley. BR 'Caprotti' 5MT 4-6-0 73129 (the only one of its class remaining with the Caprotti Valve Gear) was operating the 4 trains on the railway's Timetable A. In this video, with clips taken on the saturday of the weekend, we see the Standard arrive at Swanwick with the return leg of the 3rd train of the day from Riddings, and departs for Butterley. We head up to the West Shed, home of the Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust, owners of BR Standard 4MT 2-6-4Ts 80080/98, LMS Princess Royal Pacific 46203 'Princess Margaret Rose', and popular LMS Princess Coronation (Duchess) Pacific 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland', seen outside the shed with its support coach. Having been shunted into the shed by a Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0 Diesel, we see the shunter head off road 2 where it had just positioned the support coach, ready to head into road 4 where it would spend the night. The Standard then arrives with the final train of the day for Riddings, and departs (seen from platform 2 which is currently not in public service) and then returns, giving a great whistle on the departure. If you are in the area I strongly reccomend paying a visit to the line
