Great shots Phil.

Was that Burrs Caravan Park or Ice Station Zebra,lol?

I'm hoping to get a shot of 45231 on a Santa run before the weeks out but with the snow more or less gone now you might just have timed it right to go on this day.

Nice video Phil, pretty perfect conditions with the dusting of snow and sunshine

[981smithy]

@acw71000 Many thanks Austin for watching, It was a last minute decision to nip down to Burrs to catch 45231 with the clear skies, but it was a shame the snow wasn't as deep as at home!!

Cheers Phil.
