Nice film. Hoping to see Tornado on the West Coast main Line myself in 3.5 weeks time. Barry

@bkendlerA4 Thanks Barry. I was disappointed with practically missing Tornado in the morning so wanted to at least get something out the event. I was also trying a low light/night time setting on my camcorder, which I hadn't done at the Huddersfield tunnels when I filmed Lizzie on the Scarborough Flyer. I think I will also be out for Tornado on the WCML.

yes, very atmospheric, controversy at Lancaster made it even later, nearly didn't stop, but for a steward pulling the communication cord, hope you can get over this way tomorrow, thanks for sharing.

@noelist Cheers Leon. I take it it missed its stop at Lancaster? Was this on its return?

@LMSStanier well nearly, but some passengers had to walk back through the train otherwise they'd have been on the track.

Well done for capturing Tornado in the dark. Very atmospheric.

[LMSStanier]

@bobnweaver Thank you. It was worth the hassle.

Cheers Phil. I wasn't sure how the night time shot would come out so I'm glad you enjoyed it. I personally would have prefered to have been on the platform for a bit more light, but still, it did make up for the problems that I had in the morning (and the night time too - got locked in the station car park all night, hence the 3am footage).

Nice night shot of Tornado with a bit of whistle too, sorry to hear about your earlier problem but seeing 60163 at night must have made up for it.

Regards Phil.
