    2807 is also facing South (so, to recap, every loco is facing south
    For those interested, set A is made up of 5 Mk1s (mainly maroon with the 2nd from the North end blood and custard) while set B is a slightly more eclectic mix of (from the South End) a Maroon MK2, a Maroon MK1, a class 122 DMU DMBS in BR Blue and a Class 116 DMU DMBS in BR Blue and Grey
    See you tomorrow!

    'Twas a good, and 'interesting' day, wasn't it? :). Was that you sat on top of 1369's tanks?

    Here's 1369 waiting for a drink, while the issue of frozen water apparatus was being sorted out (with some help from the loco herself!).

    One from a rather chilly Saturday afternoon. As the light faded, 1369 storms away from a speed slack at Cogerstone Road. The frost didn't lift at all that day and I didn't see the temperature recorded as above -2c at any point.
