    Very nice frame Stuart but I must say a strange headboard for a journey North of the border.

    Even more so with a Scottish owner who was also on the footplate!

    Although Carnforth did a similar trick with the "Scot" on "The Fellsman" in June.........LINK

    My video take on Day 1 is at:



    I had this daft idea of taking a couple of reasonably close shots and a couple to show the atmosphere of a misty, drizzly, low cloud day up in the wilds hoping the exhaust would be enough for the camera to retain focus!! Actually looks better than it seemed - though still murky.

    Footage from day one with shots from Shap Wells (forest), Shap Summit, approaching Lockerbie, climbing Beattock, leaving Beattock Summit, and Carstairs. A sparkling performance from loco and crew well on top of the job.

    Thanks Ralph. Yes a busy old day, the drive home was long (and dark - what happened to the summer?) but well worth it.

    I've posted this in the 46115 thread as well, 61994 - whilst heading south on the climb to Shap - is being followed by 46115 by only 3 minutes. Quite something in the year 2013, that two consecutive trains climbing Shap, are steam hauled.

    Lovely stuff Stephen. Haven't you just captured something rare - i.e. two loco hauled trains on the same route heading in the same direction and a few minutes apart? When did that last happen up north, if it ever did?
