    It had to happen but I agree with you!
    It would be far better to be conservative with the loco details and stick with the itinerary. That way nobody has any grounds for disappointment.

    Indeed a double win for us. A different route than previously done and the loco of choice.

    I don't understand the "360". That video was clearly taken with a very wide angle lens, possibly a fisheye, but nowhere near 360°.

    Watch it on youtube rather than the embedded version and it will be a 360 degrees video and will play properly.

    I did watch it on youtube and it's certainly not 360°. Maybe something like 180°. With a 360° view the right-hand edge of the picture would join to the left-hand edge.

    Yes it is 360 because if you watch SG approaching and pan the shot with your cursor you see the row of cars parked before getting back round to SG just like street view on Google.

    My apologies. I was unaware of the possibility of panning a youtube video.

    There are some very good 360 videos out there, but the easiest way to watch them is on a tablet or smart phone. A couple of my favourites are
