RTC 2025

Alongside filming Black 5 44871 on the Polar Express shuttles out of Euston, Eddystone is seen at Twyford on her outward run, and Cholsey on the return, going at a great pace:

 

Popped out last night to see Eddystone return to London and was going very well indeed as it passed through Chippenham ready to attack Dauntsey Bank. Our 26 year old son was with me and said he's never seen anything like it, and now wants to do a main line steam run - so I'd better get booking.

YouTube clip attached, nothing fancy just the night shot at Chippenham

 

Presumably the rebuilt Bulleid had a quick rebuild into an LM 5 en route!

 

Here's my quick shot of 34028 Eddystone thundering and whistling through Keynsham last night with the return leg. I hope you enjoy it

 

Thanks to him a whole nation learned to spell the name of a place nobody had heard of.

 

I wonder if any of them ever win more on the pools than they paid to him?

 

Thanks, nice one, shades of O Winston Link?

 

Fabulous book that.

 

Thanks very much Alistair - funnily enough I thought it myself when I planned the shot, but never upto the standard of the master!
