Two superb shots. Austin. Liked the way the train was framed by that very solid looking overbridge at Whiston. Always like shots of steam on Miles Platting bank because they have to work so hard. Hope you had a great Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year. Hope to see more of your work in 2012? Barry

Lovely video Austin and the traffic noise was of little concern. Some snow wouldn't have gone a miss for effect, but it seems to somehat lacking at the moment. Maybe it will put in a appearance late January...Seasons Greetings...Keith

Thanks, yes the road was busier as the departure was close to 12.00. Normally steam departs a lot earlier when the road is a bit quieter. I'm surprised my directional mic.picked up so much of the noise though

Thanks Leon, I was a bit surprised the mic. picked up so much of that traffic noise as its a directional type. There was a busy spell with a few buses and lorries passing as Lizzie left Victoria. Only about a dozen on the bridge. Best wishes to you for Christmas and New Year and thanks for your valued info. during the last year.

that Miles Platting shot rarely disappoints, odd that the traffic noise stopped as lizzie got nearer, great video, glad you braved the weather, were there many on that bridge I wonder, cheers.
