Diesels at Didcot - The Banana Escapes!

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

When I discovered that the GWS's Flying Banana  was going to be running (a rare occurrence), we popped down to see what this fore-runner of Ireland's AEC cars was like to travel in - a shakey experience, but great to have a ride in it for a mile or so!

You're in control .....          

 

A pretty bumpy ride for the passengers and almost as smokey as an "A" Class!

To give you an idea of the exterior!

Sorry about the blank video - can someone tell me how to dispose of it?

Having "fun" with my new iMac which needless to say has a mind of its own!

After the Banana, we repaired to a nearby overbridge and just about viewed Clun Castle  coming round the curve from the main line and heading North towards Oxford and Birmingham.

For the diesel men, note the Brush 4 pristine in original 1960s livery on the rear.
