    Nice shots but the valve timing seem a bit off.

    Really sorry & no offence to the videoer at all, but I can't bear to watch the clips of 70013 in the first video. The duff on the back is shoving for all it's might in each one. You can even see the clag (from the duff) pouring out at Knockholt.
    NO I was not on it bit still entitled to have my say despite what some might say. Cue certain members.
    Really feel for both the passengers & spectators.
    The clips of 44932 are a totally different ball game, how it SHOULD be.

    My video...no offence taken, to me it looked like a shove away from the Dorking stop and Knockholt they were running on yellows right behind a Sevenoaks stopper so pulling away. I would assume the shoves must be pre-planned and organised before hand, for example no help at Warnham, 70013 only. I can't imagine a diesel driver would just take it on his own head to do it for a laugh. I know the guys who run the tours post here from time to time so the answer may well be posted.

    Images of both the specials down to Weymouth yesterday. The most interesting was D6515's movement on/off the Quay Branch's northern stub. The loco + 9 being the max that will fit into the signalling block. Video'd the departure on my phone as I currently have no working video cam' but it is not of good enough standard for here without some editing! I have also updated my page of info' on the Harbour Branch ( http://www.island-publishing.co.uk/quaybrch.htm ) to reflect the use by trains in the last couple of weeks.

    Brilliantly atmospheric, to your usual standard and you know enough about the various routes to get good locations.

    Yep you are entitled to your say and so am I, but I will desist because I know when it is pointless banging on and on about the same thing.

    Right I have removed the off topic bickering from the thread can we please keep on topic and keep the mudslinging for elsewhere! Also please note that there have been multiple complaints arising from a couple of issues, these are being looked at as we speak and if required further action will be taken in regards to this if needed but in the meantime, play nicely please!

    Back on topic, here is my video from Saturday, captured at Netley, Southampton, approaching Hedge End and departing Botley:



    Oh, and Ian, thanks for commenting and for the correction! For some reason, I thought that trip was diesel hauled all the way so forgot all about it! I'll correct the mistake in the morning!

    No worries James, it was a blinding run with 76079 so will live long in the memory! Even more so as it was home territory.
