I enjoyed this day, i was it Quorn and i really felt like i was train spotting in the 1960's and when the freight came through i pretended it was going to somewhere in the country rather than just Rothley, it was a good day despite the weather
Thanks Bob. Probably too much steam, which obscured much of the engines / trains. Better than filming on a warm summer's day though, and it's good to get the variety.
A lovely video Mike, I think the gloomy conditions add to the atmosphere a great deal and makes for some good exhaust effects. The shot of 30777 departing Loughborough shows just how gloomy it was.
Thanks Austin. Yes there was a mist all day and it got dark very early. The Lamiel shot was the 3:30 and it was already too dark for decent still shots.
Enjoyed it ---made the best of a very murky day ---if you were on your own then you had your own timetable to perfection ---spoke to you at charnwood and appear in the shot on the right cheers
As always, a great video, bucket-loads of atmosphere. And the sun didn't always shine in the steam era, so it's good to see some gloomy days now and again, tech permitting.

Thanks. Yes, there weren't to many photographers there. Too many of them are just interested in pretty ¾ view shots in the sunshine!

just the weather for Steam. Classic shot at 6:00 with the steam and the signal lights. Is Lamiel staying there for a while or is it just visiting?

The GCR is Sir Lamiel's home railway. I would guess that she will be staying over the winter until the mainline season begins next year.
