Thanks - The loco was certainly working until the second bridge but seemed to slacken off and with a slight cross wind the smoke started to drift. Although the signal was green, the next one was probably on amber as a stopping Turbo was only a few minutes ahead. It's straight here so the driver may well eased the regulator to keep it rolling rather than have a signal check near Maidenhead.
Graham, After looking at the location on Saturday I took the easy option by Sonning golf course, but on the main and slowing for Twyford west. Good effort I know how differcult it was. Derek
Nice video indeed. I really like the bridge and the field at Milley Road, just up the line from there, which are great for filming, especially for up trains :-) Have you been there too?
Very good - notice how the exhaust seems to obscure the driver's view from the cab, though?

Thanks Derek, It wasn't too difficult but I wanted to use my monopod but couldn't find the quick release plate.

Have been to Milley Bridge but all those grey boxes are a real pain...

Yes true - you'd need even bigger stepladders!
