A very enjoyable event yesterday, well done to all concerned. The timetable for the event was superb, hopefully something for future events too.

I've uploaded footage from throughout yesterday including the early morning charter with 49395 and 47324.

Was a tough choice between the CVR and ELR this weekend, but in the end 2 LNER moguls, a Bulleid pacific, Super D, black 5, etc trumped the S160, N7 and U-boat, so here is my two pennies:

4/7 at the ELR I've seen many times before, plus the Churnet Valley doesn't cost me anything to get to.

...unless you factor in the food needed for a 24 mile bike ride, inevitable puncture and the frozen toes :twisted:

Prefer the ELR though, and killed a few other birds with one stone in coming north, so the right choice was made, was it not Mr L? :)
