    Any one out for this tour, riding or watching? I should be around Masbrough Junction, Rotherham in the morning. Not seen a GW loco pass through before.

    And at Colton Junction there looked to be a rather large fire as we drove passed from Bolton Percy.

    I can't remember the last time it rained here actually, either way there was a huge ball of smoke just north of the bridge at Colton with immense amounts of smoke stretching all the way down to the village of Colton...

    Anyway, my footage from this morning at Bolton Percy is now online, we'd just missed Tornado by about 10 minutes ](*,) (Typical!) Ahh well, caught it last week...

    5043 is one lovely engine, credit to all the guys at Tyseley is due :)

    After setting fire to half the countryside and part of York on it's way from the Midlands it wasn't surprising that "Earl of Mount Edgcumbe" was taking it steady on the way home. 8-[

    Pyromaniac or not it looked smart.

    Thanks Simon, I wish the sky had been blue in the morning as well, it was just dull and washed all the colour out, you got a good video though.

    Rumour has it that after the fire brigade took about two hours to put out all the fires, that it was touch and go whether 5043 would be allowed to do the return.

    Once again rumour rears it's ugly head, how long before speculation follows in it's wake?
    Facts please.

    I stated quite clearly that it was a rumour, if you're that interested go and find out the facts for yourself. :smt083
