Evening Star at 50

A short video I made of the 50th Anniversary of 92220 Evening Star. It was the event that marked 50 years since the last steam locomotive was built by British Railways. This film looks in detail of Evening Star at the STEAM Museum at Swindon, with a short scene in the cab which proved tricky as there was people all around you.
Still it was one good birthday party with museum guests and former workers, engineers and footplate crews who worked on steam engines. And had a nice slice of birthday cake for this occasion!

Well presented video there m8 I was going to go to this but found out there was a Network Rail class 150 running around the Didcot area and I just had to get that instead. Well you know what I am like when it comes between choosing a diesel and steam engine..Diesel first! :) 5*

I'd knew you'd say that! :P But Class 150s at Didcot are very rare so I can't blame you.
