    Aye should be a good do! Rather looking forward to it.

    We've got the DVD details already online and a pre-order facility will become available on the 10th February 2010.

    We've also got an advertisement on the timetable information regarding the DVD; the DVD will be available online and from the KWVR shops at some point during Feb / March.

    The DVD will cover all 3 days, plus prep action on the Thurs, I'm still trying to think of something unusual that could be done for the DVD, any ideas you'd like to see please let us know... Bonus footage will also be included of 1744 on the North Norfolk Railway and 90733 on the East Lancashire Railway.

    I hope to see plenty of you about =]

    Because we got such a huge contract with Videoscene along with ones for the GCR, WSR, Peak Rail and others it seemed silly to give up completely. I'm not doing much, David's now running the company i'm just helping with filming and stuff.

    Quick Update for you all:

    All of the coaches are now formed up ready for next weekend. Comprises of a 6 coach gangway set (with Buffet on board serving real ale/hot food etc)
    N2 arrives wednesday, and will be taken to Haworth at somepoint during the day.
    Thursday there will be the Jinty out and about getting all of the wagons prepared for the weekend, could be quite interesting noise from the loco with quite a heavy train during the day.
    All set to go now!

    According to the weather (which is probably wrong) it should stay mainly cloudy (at least on Friday) looking at the BBC site.

    Had a great day at the gala today,the weather was a bit changeable but some odd sun patches did come through,unfortunately at the wrong times in most cases!

    Some good looking stuff there Simon.
    Seems you were stood at the top of the field whilst i was at the bottom this aft.

    If only the sun had come out 1 minute earlier for the Std 4!


    My shots are now up at:

    Cheers,
    Mark
