Saturday 30th June 2012 - GWR 4-6-0 No. 4953 "Pitchford Hall" hauls a service from Ongar to North Weald. The recording starts about half a mile from Ongar after a cautious start as 4953 opens up and whistles. After about a minute and a half the loco eases off, the safety valve lifts and the loco picks up again. Just before the end of the clip, 4953 whistles at the approach to for Blake Hall and shuts off.
