HI! Great Video. The train had many members of the Northolt Model Rail Club traveling on it, which I am lucky enough, even from this distance, to also be a member. I had arranged to stand on the mound of ballast that the p/w gang has kindly left at the end of the Viaduct. The figure in black cloths and gray hair in your video is me, if you go to Border Raider Ripplehead, tag gmitcham, I might have repaid the compliment.

Cheers, Gordon Mitcham, Brisbane, Australia.

@ghmitcham Hi Gordon, or should I say G'day. I did just spot myself to the right of two other guys on the mound overlooking the station. Glad you are enjoying our steam trains. Hope you didn't get blown over up there.

@presgo HI! Thanks for your reply, glad i could repay the favour, yes did nearly get blown off the mould and was about to give it away, when along came a signalman who's closest car park to the box is the station, he gave me an actual time (nice brisk walk across the viaduct during the winter I bet) You certainly have a fine dossier on youtube, have just a few with the tag "tobrukyt" Cheers, Gordon.
