I have to say i prefer Rood Ashton, correct colour aside, it is just that little bit more spectacular!

[MG06ZT]

@pedanticmongrel Rood's a good engine, but its nice to have a change now and then. Cheers.

Good work there, and great sound !

[MG06ZT]

Thanx, comments appreciated.

Fast for an average steam train, but gets nowhere as fast as a GO Train...

Thanks, I don't recall any rain for the first return trip at Dorridge, but after it passed on the second trip the was some rain at Lapworth. If my memory serves me.

Great vid mate! I recall having a rain storm at Dorridge shortly before 5972 passed, but it all seems dry just up the road at Lapworth!
