[IanCane]

Thanks for posting this, I was on the train and wondered what it was looking like from the lineside. I haven't heard a Jub thrashed like Leander was for a long time. The driver and fireman really knew their stuff.

How come sometimes your camera has sound and other times it doesn't?

[GWRDec]

the non sound camera is mine, and the sound camera is my dads, sometimes he lets me use it now and again lol

[GWRDec]

cheers mate

Shouldnt you be more an LNER purist as you live in Leeds? I was raised and live in native Devon which makes me 65% GWR and 35% Southern

[GWRDec]

nah, i really like all regions to be honest, i just feel in love with GWR though when i went to the SDR in 2005, and liiked it every since

[jules46443]

surely your aloud to like a variety no matter where ya live

i mean i live in peterborough but i like gwr and the other 4

[GreatWestern175]

Well.. Im more of a big loco-type person, my favourite loco being 6024. They'r other locos I favour too i.e. 4472, the A4s, Black 5s, Princess Royals, Casltes, Bullied unrebuilt or rebuilt locos. But 'cause I live in Exeter its a Junction between the Great Western and Southern lines. At heart I will be Great Western even my youtube account bares its name.

[jules46443]

well your entitled to favourites as much as anyone

i mean i also like A4s, black 5s and castles

and even though my channel name says 46443 (though i like ivatts) i still like them and the GWR

[GWRDec]

anyway, does it really matter what trains i like and where they come from, i mean you like 4472, thats not gwr

[GreatWestern175]

True alhough Im a Great Westen guy at heart I also gotta be a part Southern guy as I live in the junction were the GWR and SR meet in exeter, but I like all sorts of big locos, 4472 is a loco I've liked since I was 9 and 1st saw it in 2000, my family and loads others admire and honour 4472 as a national treasure.
