Photos and Video, 40145 and 40106, Kidderminster 02/08/18

40145 was used to haul 40106 from Bury to the SVR. I filmed them arriving at Kidderminster, then 40145 headed back north later in the day and is seen first at Stourbridge Junction, then soon after at Old Hill. Also seen are 7802 and 43106, plus a couple of LM units 172333 and 153365, oh – and a pigeon which you can’t miss in the video! One does fly in front of the Manor and I cropped the frame from the video so that it can be seen just to the left of the tender in the photo.
