Another spectacular 5043 performance as it headed the Mersey Express today; once again full marks to all at Tyseley for another unassisted run with 47773 on the rear just making the Earl even louder...footage outbound from Clive Green just south...

The Dainton Banker liked misspentyouth62's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.

LMS2968 liked Steve's post in the thread Tornado.
