Moguls 2968 + 7325 attack the Lickey 1997

Archive footage of Stainer Mogul 2968 and Collet Mogul 7325 in the late 90’s, over two separate occasions. The first is on a lovely bright day double heading working the Lickey Incliner from Finsbury Park to Bescot and return on 22nd November 1997 seen at Spetchley, Lickey Hills and Walsall. And the second the locos are seen topping Lickey Bank on 31st January 1998 working the ‘Inclined Salopian’ from Shrewsbury to Gloucester and return. Both locos now are requiring extensive overhaul at the Severn Valley Railway with 7325 being out of service the longest. The overhauls are hoped to start within the next few years but the pandemic has almost put a nail in the coffin I’d have imagined.
