Steam Loco Duchess of Hamilton visits Stratford-on-Avon (2)

What's wrong? Don't click 'more' yet. OK, Duchess of Hamilton pulled a train to Stratford-on-Avon on 5th Nov 1994 and also had the task of shunting the carriages to another platform, bearing in mind that this is an operational mainline station with a timetable to keep. The explanantion of the difficulty is the audible sticking brake on one of the carriages, which was a bit much for a loco having 6'9" driving wheels. It does show a bit of good driving, in spite of the derisory Cock-a-Doodle-Doo on the hooter at the start. The movie quality is compromised to reduce file size.
