4247
Filmed just after she emerged ex-works in BR Black, we see one of the oldest working Great Western engines in preservation - GWR 42xx 2-8-0T 4247, which dates from 1916. A former St Blazey china clay engine (based there 1955-1957), she is seen hard at work on the Bodmin Road and Boscarne Junction branches of the Bodmin & Wenford Railway in the post-Christmas steamings in December 2011. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xd4xIGLPTk
