Amazing cool - you could have been a sniper. That middle shot is very special, like the engine is alive! The smoke and the sound also great.

Many happy returns of the day Ryan, and congratulations on another stunning piece of work. The storming ascent at Frampton Mansell is the stand out shot for me. I've only stood on that crossing once, in 2000. On that day Kinlet Hall crept round the corner and stalled in front of the waiting gallery. After a quick blow up the train managed to continue unassisted.

Many thank yous Martyn, dunno what to say on that. But the assault on Frampton Mansell was a difficult one to get as the nerves were getting to me as the pair were approaching. Interesting info you mentioned about Kinlet Hall stalling on Sapperton, I might look into it.

Forgive me - I didn't mean Sapperton. I meant Frampton Mansell!!

[GreatWestern175]

No worrys Frampton Mansell is more of a climbe up to Sapperton so it still counts :) Cheers for my birthday wishes :)
