    A real treat for EE Type 4 fans with Deltic's thrown in for good measure.

    The only time I flew anywhere was when someone shouted 'Last Orders!':eek:
    I might try and get over there myself tomorrow if anybody's going to be around to give me a leg up.:)

    Excellent day out on the ELR today. Great show put on by the East Lancs/CFPS.

    The two Barrow Hill locos are absolutely stunning. Great to see them gainfully employed too.

    Well done to everyone involved. Hope you make loads of money this weekend.

    Could only manage a couple of hours at Heywood today for this event, not the best day weather wise but it stayed dry (ish).

    Do the little blue stars above the buffers have significance?

    Multiple working system. It means class 40s can work with any other locos fitted with the same type of system. There are a few systems, because it would be too easy to have one standard one!
