Hi, there was a small crowd around me - and I didn't want to disturb their view - as they had obligingly stayed behind my tripod! Incidentally I uploaded this clip in HD ('steam train at speed 95 in HD')...a better image. There are views looking the other way 'Wolverton station' neat but not too exciting these days.
I can imagine!! Hopefully I'll get something like this from the Duke this year if she comes down south!! - fingers crossed. By the way, have you heard about the revised date for the MHR autumn gala? Its changed to the 28th-30th of October, with both 60163 and 60007 SNG apparently starring at the event. Fingers crossed.
This, Will, is an absolute cracker of a shot. The whistle is stunning, the zoom back is perfect - what more can you ask for? Superb shot - liked and without doubt this is going in my favourites. Well done.
this is Sweet

Almost spiritual, but why not pan with the train so those of us who don't live in lovely England can see more of the scene?

Hi James - there was pretty much a stunned silence from the platform-enders. The Duke certainly seemed to be in great form.
