Good video Mike. Shame about the lack of activity!! You should have came up the GC ans seen the Std 2 and N2 in steam at least you'd have got 2 working locos!

@aifrench14

Thanks. I saw it was "Postman Pat" day on the GC and feared the worst!

@eanat11, No disrespect intended, should have wrote working steam locos.

[eanat11]

@aifrench14 I was looking a midland railway vid & i saw you commented...

The reason of the lack of activity is because half the locos need new boilers or on static display or are in peices! The rest are in sidings that need going back & forward & back & forward so they just get the locos in the esiest to reach siding, e.g.DMU+47327! Also on your comment it said 'youd get 2 working locos!' There was 2 running on that day!!!!!!!
