Thanks again Manuel, I forgot to upload some pics I missed, I have aso changed the file format so this now enables FULL HD!!! Please do tell me what you think guys, Criticism is welcome, I really want to strive to improve. I am aware the tripod is a little jerky right now, I may invest in getting another tripod, one that has a smooth head. Anyone have any recommendations?

Nice shots there Kirk- also good to see what the event looked like in daylight-

I was firing in this this shot of yours;



My only daylight run of the weekend- awesome night out from 1am till 9:30am on 46443! Love that loco- a lot of fun to work on, and well worth messing up the body clock for a weekend!

Nice! I heard some of the shifts, it certainly sounds great to do, and I have recorded the climb up eardington, What coal you using! I got a face ful, sounded like she was nearing 2nd valve on that climb!!

Killoch- from Ayrshire is our current supplier- and yes very prone to being smokey......esp on that run as we were down to the slack in the bottom of the bunker as it was on its third trip since being topped up. Nearing second valve?..........it was right across, well wound back and purring! Also steaming well and would have gone like that for ever! Even more fun at night, when firing slack you get a nice roman candle out the chimney!
