    2 years, how time flies by, I saw it, and I think, (I'm not sure), it was Mr. Andrew who showed how it should be done on the pull up to Morley Tunnel. :thumb: Always a decent show with steam and diesel, a good run at the hill and them bit between the teeth time. You can hear the Deltic all over the valley.
