Update 830. 46233 Duchess of Hamilton passing Cradley Heath, 23/09/13

The Severn Valley Railway gala is over. The Duchess is seen returning to Butterley after attending the gala, but unfortunately had some brake problems during the weekend. It was taken of its first train on Friday with brake problems, 4936 was in turn taken of its train to run light to Bewdley to take over from the Duchess, 43106 taking over from 4936 and 1501 working the freight instead of 43106.

46233 did work again Friday afternoon and all day Saturday, but on Sunday was replaced by 43106.
