Epic Steam train fail at Exeter: 80080 (& 80079) cannot make the grade - 1st May 1994.

Описание: A classic and epic fail of Steam to tackle the severe 1:37 grade from Exeter St. Davids to Exeter Central took place on the evening of 1st May 1994. 80080 and 80079 were on a mini railtour from Exeter to Exmouth, when the ascent of the incline proved too much for the Standard 4s. Eventually - and after much burning of metal - the ensemble crested the grade and continued on their journey.
