    Some great shots GB, but I think the title of the tour needs rethinking, judging by the first and last clips, it's not a Ramble any more, more a Gallop.

    Thanks again to VT for re-running this tour. Due to work commitments on Saturday, I couldn't be on it and only just about managed to see it in the evening at New Street:

    Hopefully the popularity of the tour will see it run again in the not-too-distant future!

    The sound those two made storming the lickey will stay with me for some time. Cheers to all at Tyseley for another excellent trip!

    I agree, absolutely fantastic and even more dramatic in the dark!

    To save all this working hard nonsense hopefully on the next run there will be a couple of 66s on the bank giving a helpful shove. :)

    I think a couple of Class 20s might be better from an artistic and aesthetic point of view. The symmetry with the panniers would be superb,.

    Woulden't mind a mainline 51XX considering 4110 is still around Tyseley turntable.

    80 minutes at Minehead to be exact. It was increased to 2 1/2 hours in 2014.

    2 1/2 hours is minimum required to turn, water and service the loco, plus give the crews a break and a feed.

    Ben , as a thought could you go up the branch towards Kingswinford from Stourbridge which is used by the steel trains ? for a future Pannier Rambler
