    6233 climbs through Stalybridge this morning in hazy sunshine, just before the stopper to Manchester Victoria would have blocked our view

    The correct balance ;) Lol...

    Well that is a good point, the light can be added after but it's still rather annoying that i drag the clouds with me... Is it the photo taken around Sherburn?

    Beautiful pics chaps, Stuart, have you got your own personal gap in the clouds ? Fancy moving in to my house !!!!! Summer ! Ha Ha Ha I remember then !

    Great to have had the Duchess on the Scarboroughs this time, Hamilton looks good, dont get me wrong, but 6233 dont half look good with her kit off !!
    Good luck with her overhaul chaps, will be counting the days till shes back where she belongs.

    Anyhow, bit of video from myself from todays run, first thundering through Greenfield this morning, then coasting home over a midge infested Saddleworth Viaduct.

    ......................... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfXQu8HMGqE

    Pointy green thing next ! Bring it on !!

    Regards all,

    Matt

    After that he then walked straight towards me going on about it was much slower this morning as well and there was a lot of steam leaking from the front making a funny noise.......

    Whilst we were waiting I showed him the view I got on the screen and how I would pan round and continue recording until I could no longer here her... In one ear and out the other... :smt021

    Still with the mobile phone mob standing on the edge of the platform the deprting shot was gone anyway..
