Green Arrow swansong with the teaks at last
15th October 2007 to 16th October 2007

This is a close look at Gresleys master piece V2 Green Arrow operating on the Severn Valley Railway's set of genuine LNER teak coaches, matching the engine, on a special charter. She is shortly to be retired to the NRM and in unlikly to steam again for a very long time. This spectical, will likely not happen again.
