    Making a promise to myself not to photograph any further South than my postcode, my final images of The Great Britain from this year. Of main interest were the Aberdeen legs, conducted at times of day that I don't believe have been done in...

    My photographs of days 1 & 2 with 34028 down in the South West. First time I've ever been to Penzance, with the lovely weather I think it was worth the chase. Day 1 Climbing Whiteball near Backways Farm. [IMG] [IMG] Approaching Starcross...

    My understanding from a recent conversation at the lineside is that something of that sort has already happened. Whatever the diagnosis and proposed rectification work, unless it is very straightforward, the loco can't really be spared from...

    We had a cracking day on the railway today despite the problems encountered with 68067 in the morning and the line side fires in the afternoon. The staff and volunteers all handled the problems brilliantly and kept everyone updated with the...

    And who could blame you - it's a superb loco, powerful and with a good bark. I was filming today but thoroughly enjoyed the gala. Thanks to all at the Mid-Hants. My donation was gratefully accepted at Ropley. [BJ]

    68067 is still in use as we passed it at Ropley at the head of the 15.20 service from Alresford with 41312 at the rear. This is the opposite of the scheduled working. Not sure if 41312 is staying with 68067 as insurance as the rear engine was due...

    68067 was taken back to Ropley on the rear of the heavily delayed 14.25 from Alton. Old faithful 41312 showing how it should be done on the front. We just had a great run up the bank behind the Standard Five on the delayed 14.55. A quality bit...

    You are doing a fabulous job with your updates - now with photos! That is what my above likes are for, not of course for the loco in trouble or the lineside fire. :( Lineside fires could well become an issue everywhere down south very soon....

    The Express is running and on its way to Medstead at the moment behind the Ivatt and S15. One of the Class 20's was waiting in the yard at Ropley presumably to come out and replace the ailing 68067. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk
