For the steam buffs on the forum:-

Thanks for that; like it!

It's amazing the appeal of that engine. I went to S. Queensferry a couple of years ago to see it cross the Forth Bridge, the place was heaving. It seems to be a similar story everywhere it goes. Actually, for me at least, watching it cross the bridge was a bit of a let down. I'm not sure what I was hoping for but after waiting for what seemed like forever this wee train away above us slowly trundled across the bridge and that was it. I think it would've been better to see it close up and working for a living, maybe a long climb somewhere.

Hi KC1961,...........Maybe with 15 Mk.1's on the back attacking Shap or Beattock unaided ??

Berwick upon Tweed, Alan. About as far north as you can get and still be in England.

Ooops. Just realised I shouldn't have taken your question quite so literally.

Hi Guys and my apologies to StogieRob in particular for going "Off thread" but given Papasmurf's video I thought you all might like to experience this}-----
