It's the second year since Class 52 Western diesel hydraulic D1015 has returned to the mainline, and this is the triumphant first railtour to Penzance. At 10.12 D1015 "Western Champion", masquerading with the name "Sir Misha Black", storms past Creech on Past Time Railtour's "Royal Duchy" tour, 1Z52 07.25 London Paddington to Peenzance. She sounded magnificent!
