This is 'Steam Dreams' Sunny South Special departure to Eastbourne...and I have not got this wrong! It should have been a steam loco but due to parts of the SE experiencing the worst drought for many years a temporary steam ban has been impossed by Network Rail in parts of the region. Still FM Rail's 31128 is doing a pretty good job of impersonating a steamer as the train departs London Victoria on the 10th August 2006.
