    Today I filmed the "The Midlander" and "The East Riding" and combined the two as a single video in an parody of the old LNER / LMS rivalry. OK it would have been better if there was an A4 on the ECML rather than a Standard BR loco, but hey we have to work with what we get - More like the English civil war, Cromwell vs Royalty......

    Anyway, Ollie wins this contest hands down, for a faster, noisier, more robust performance with no diesel.

    Unlike the owner. :) She's doing very well for a rescue dog. Bit of a diva at times but that's a female for you.
