A pair of "duffs" would not have excited us back in the eighties, but forty years on and you'll travel miles to see one, let alone two. At 09.45 The "Mazey Day Statesman" Pullman train has erupted out of Whiteball Tunnel and heads down the hill with Locomotive Services Limited Class 47s nos. D1935 ( 47805) "Roger Hosking MA 1925 - 2013" and 47614 (47853), working 1Z64 05.22 Solihull to Penzance. You can get excited too by watching my video of the train on my You Tube channel - link here: https://youtu.be/NPoONhPSNqQ
