LMS 45699 Galatea masquerading as 45627/45562 was put in the charge of the Royal Duchy and what followed was a superb outbound display over the Devon Banks most notably over Dainton.
We captured Both legs of the tour up Dainton and we'd witness the single chimney Jubilee attacking the lower and higher sections of the steep winding climb to Dainton Tunnel in less than ideal conditions but the end results was a fine soundtrack of a Jubilee in full attack mode !
The precursor to Devon Banks would be a high speed run towards Taunton and the idea for us was to capture the Jubilee racing through a few stations. Nailsea & Backwell followed by Yatton were the locations of choice and steam at speed is what we got !
I hope you enjoy this video of a proper steam hauled excursion
