City of Truro seen here at Barton Hill (Bristol) having arrived by low loader from York. 5029 had recently arrived ECS from Old Oak Common, then proceeded to assist Truro by compressing the drawgear to connect the tender up. Truro travelled to Kingswear that weekend , its first run following a comprehensive overhaul. The driver of 5029 (Arthur Penn) retired that day after 47 years service, we were his last booked turn which was a very "spirited run" between Swindon and Bath.
