    My video filmed at Seer Green & Jordans, approaching Princes Risborough and leaving Claydon Junction.

    I popped up to Marylebone to see the evening arrival/departure; the Western looked and sounded superb :)

    Uploaded my pictures from Sunday too. I was on the second part of the tour for the branch lines around Oxfordshire. It was a great trip, covered some track I needed and scooped 47773 for haulage. My thanks to VT and everyone else involved for an excellent day. Preview of the pictures below with D1015 sat on the blocks at Marylebone. The rest of the pictures can be found by clicking the link.

    I travelled on the 1st part of this tour, excellent value for money I thought. Would love VT to use this engine on this kind of trip again whereby it gives participants the option of having a good few hours to explore somewhere as opposed to just a couple of hours.

    I feel I must say one thing about the times and why we show a deprature 10 minutes before Network Rail, and subsiquently Mr Randalls' excelent UK Steam, shows us appearing on the network.

    The time shown by Network Rail is when we are required to transition from Tyseley Loco Works to Network Rail, NOT the departure from our Tyseley Platform. Hence to make sure we are ready to make a timely transition past the Tyseley #1 box, we allow ourselves 10 minutes.

    Sorry for any confusion this causes.
