I'm glad the gala was a success. The pictures and videos above are a well-timed reminder of just what a magnificient line the NYMR is. It is so...
Good sound, but again, hardly any visible exhaust. It was a strsnge day weather-wise. I went to Longfield in the morning only to fail for a second...
I doubt if these road closures/temporary traffic lights will cause much of a ripple, if any, here in East Sussex. This must be the No. 1 UK...
