Seeing as the tour in this video was in memory of Paul Kane, it feels only right that I upload this video in his memory. I recently worked with Paul Kane when crewing the Great Britian III in April of 2010. He was a true gentleman, and a dear friend to all. He will be missed. RIP Paul Kane.
Thanks for watching :)
A throughly entertaining vid.
Adding to the point that andy66725 makes. It never ceases to amaze me the way locos and units are often forgotten by their operators. I work in retail and now only to well how the advertising/presentation of a product is as important as the product itself. A loco or Multiple unit is essentially a massive company billboard of the product on offer but the operators seem un-interested in their presentation. They should shine all the time, image is everything.
