    Lovely sound from the motion as it ran into the station. Looked like an everyday scene, given the number of people on the platform it was a scene that could have been during BR steam days, one of the summer saturday specials to the sea.

    Agreed that's a nice shot Chris, and with a reasonable shot of himself, one that Mick will no doubt want to add to his collection.

    Thanks for the kind comments gentlemen - I know I'm not up to the standards of some of our contributors so don't want to oversell them. Hope Mick will enjoy some of it. That's what it's for - enjoyment.

    is that Incline approaching R & W really as steep as it looks on video or is it some sort of optical illusion ??? 8F seems to take it in her stride. Excellent footage.

    mmmmm Thanks for that. Just the engine for the job then ! i don't suppose their are many steeper gradients on the regular steam network at the moment. Discounting, Ais Gill, Shap, Weymouth ??? I might even have them wrong ! And I'm ready for the ideas . Cheers all (shout Lickey but I don't think thats regular at present)
