Hopefully looking forward to enjoying this sort of scene again in March 2011, when Spitfire's Holy Oakes tour passes this certain neck of the woods...

[Woolybak8]

I take it your on board Dave?

[theamateurbasher]

@Woolybak8 Not yet, but may be getting my ticket soon!

[Woolybak8]

Oh cool thanks! 55022 was amazing in Lime Street in February, I might see it again soon!

[theamateurbasher]

40145 isn't the only one doing the Manchester circle; 55022 Royal Scots Grey is also doing a tour on that route in late July. The railtour info site has information on that; look out for a link in my bulletin.

[Woolybak8]

Ah so thats also 40145! I had not heard of the Aberystwyth railtour as of yet, but i'm deifinantly visiting Manchester Victoria soon for 40145 on the circular service, catch ya later!

[theamateurbasher]

40145, owned by the Class 40 Preservation Society. She's just made railway news by rescuing a freight train of some sort; the second heritage mainline loco, after D1015 Western Champion, to be a thunderbird loco to an everyday freight or passenger working.

[Woolybak8]

What loco is hauling that mate?

[theamateurbasher]

Hmm. Don't know about that one yet... I am however giving the 5th May tour to Aberystwyth some consideration, but nothing concrete yet... Catch you around pal!

[Woolybak8]

Yeah I will, don't worry mate! Hope to see you again! BTW, i'll be on 40145 later on this year on the Lime Street-Skegness railtour, wondering if you be there...

[Woolybak8]

You might want to know Dunky that about 5 minutes later another 37 passed through Chester on freight from Arpley Yard, which just so happened to be 37405, which was the other 37 on last week's Wolverhampton-York railtour (Stalybridge) along with 37401!

[Woolybak8]

Oh cool, I didn't know you were on it, I only met amateurbasher there, but you have to admit, I know its my 3rd encounter with 37401 this week, but it was impressive when it left, if only I didn't delete my version accidently!

[Woolybak8]

Ha yeah! One day, just one day!

[Woolybak8]

yeah cheers!

[stationendproduction]

hey, good vid, you can see me front window wearing black, great tour

[Dunky1962]

great video, i think you should buy that 37, you do seem to meet up quite a lot!!! 5*

[theamateurbasher]

BTW, please pass on my regards to Stephen; I forgot this wasn't your footage, as I forgot to read the video description. Cheers!

[theamateurbasher]

Hey hey! There I am at 0:16 (in the green jumper, at the rear window of the first coach), trying to get a shot (mucked it up of course!). I don't know if you saw me, but I turned round and waved a few seconds later (I was out of sight by then anyway). Good to see you and your cousin there, even if for a few minutes. Great vid pal, five stars!
