RIDING THE FOOTPLATE ON THE DUKE OF GLOUCESTER

In appalling weather, I managed to film this little gem. Theres no place to hide on a bucking footplate with 3 hard working men operating in the confined area. Enjoy the sights and sounds of this unique locomotive on a run from Heywood to Bury in Lancashire, England. The opening shots in the film show the crew running the loco round its train at Heywood Station.
