Thanks Vic. Oh to be young enough to be firing on such a footplate. Chris

[NiallMS]

Thanks Chris. Pity about the diesel in tow.

"OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH!"

[khankadet]

My pleasure Niall. Shame but can't detract too much from seeing a steam loco on the mainline. Chris

[Lainiodurrant]

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you!

[khankadet]

Hello Elaine. Thank you and nice to hear from you again. Hope al is well with you and yours. Chris

[robmasterman]

Superb coverage from two great locations Chris, the still air could be felt on that first clip...5* Bob

[khankadet]

Thanks Bob - have you seen Linesider's upload of this trip? Absolutely superb - makes my stuff look out of focus. I wonder if it's the camera or me? Chris

[robmasterman]

I've had a good look Chris but can't find any footage from David, Don't be so self-critical, you always produce superb quality material that's a joy to watch. There is an inner circle of people who always produce some of the best material on YouTube, and you are certainly one of them...Chin up...Bob

[khankadet]

Aargh - another senior moment. Sorry to have wasted your time. I actually meant Austin (acw71000) but the name of that other expert (David) came to mind!! Chris

[robmasterman]

Ha..ha, it's one of the best excuses for getting things wrong at our age Chris, mind you Austin's been at it a long time and as you say produces excellent work every time, we'll just have to stand back in awe and enjoy eh!....Bob

[Framptonjoe]

Splendid as always, two fine locations

[khankadet]

Thanks Joe - sun/light was a bit of a problem but the camera coped reasonably well. Chris

Two very nice clips Chris, lovely location for the first one, I was up on the hill at Conway, the bushes have grown a lot since I was last there

[khankadet]

Thanks Austin - I was planning to be on the hill till I ran out of time and had to dive down Penarth Road. I'll seek out your video - bound to be a cracker. Chris

[EMuksteam]
