    Well you are getting more than me!
    I have subscribed to this tour on RailTour-live and have got nothing except a message to say that t0416a has not received any updates.

    You should probably recheck what you did, because there have been at least 6 live updates for this tour so far!

    Cheers. Minor panic when I got home as the image files didn't appear when I put the card into my card reader. Launched my image recovery software and there they were. Panic over and blood pressure back to normal.

    What happened in the painting of the number 2 on the buffer beam? Looks decidedly odd. Presumably no transfers exist after 70 odd years.

    There has been a great deal of discussion about this on another more informed site. It is apparently correct to the original LNER works drawings..............the cabside numbers, particularly 2 shows similar traits...

    From the films I've seen Bittern / Dominion of New Zealand looks immaculate. The coaching stock also looks like its had a makeover ?
