The "Condor" is held in the loop at Beattock summit as the two expresses pass.

Nice busy shots there Chris.

I'm doing a similar Activity for Cambrian where you shunt 2286 (a Collett Goods 0-6-0) with a goods train into Borth Spur to let Dinmore Manor pass with an express. Just got to make 7820's path so she doesn't get stopped outside Aberystwyth

Just love all trains myself.

If I were to choose favourites it would be Ex. LNER B16/1 for steam

and GM SD45T-2 for diesel (cabride). Electric: no particular favourite.
