'Princess Elizabeth' to visit the WSR. 23rd August, 2016

What a stunning return to the mainline, congrats and big thanks to all who made it possible. Looking superb, and sounding even better, here it is departing Ascot (headphones on wind up the volume, what a stunning soundtrack) and of course the inevitable Crofton show, (stunning weather) with it seems, most of the regulars there.

On this clip, not mine but a friend, Lizzie chucks some coal at the camera tripod

 

That was rather fortunate it was bouncing along the ground rather than at head height!

 

Just to think that around 1970 at that spot we would have had no steam and a derelict canal, so we do live in fortunate times.

 

Yet another shot at Crofton for you to enjoy. The weather, the beautiful canal and Lizzie will stick in my memory for a long time. Enjoy.

 

Lets hope BTP get a copy.

 

Errrr Why?

 

?

 

Nothing wrong with being on the platform, where else are you supposed to stand, thank god it didn't hit a child, you would have needed a Paramedic, not the Police !!

 

Quite! No one was wrong side of the yellow line or messing about, so I can't understand why the BTP might be interested.

ORR or RAIB perhaps, so maybe the original post about it should be deleted before they spot it

 

Yet another shot from the many people who congregated the spot at Crofton!

Enjoy!

 

Crofton was properly lovely this morning. The soundtrack at Bruton this evening, however, was one I won't be forgetting for a long time. I've missed the Lizzie roar so much! Shall be posting my footage tomorrow

 

What I saw was an arm throw the coal

 

That was the driver waving I hardly think he would throw coal at people!!

i just run it frame by frame and you can see the coal fall off the tender

 

Not my best , but added for posterity

 

Great shot...truly magnificent indeed!! Just not enough Apple Green in evidence to win the accolade you describe!!

 

My video from Crofton this morning...
