    I waited at The Greatest Gathering today for 60103 Flying Scotsman to return to Litchurch Lane after rail tour duty
    Here she is reversing into a cleared area which up till about 15 minutes beforehand members of the public were being moved out of the way
    talk about herding cats!!

    Also about the only photo i got of 3 of the 4 pacifics in one photo
    60103 Flying Scotsman, 60532 Blue Peter and you can just make out 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley behind 60532 with 45596 Bahamas in between them

    A question for @neildimmer and apologies if it seems impertinent but firstly, thanks for capturing the arrival of Scotsman.

    You've posted a link to 11 images. Two, possibly three of them could be described as different. Any reason why you don't just choose the best 2/3 and only post them? Less is sometimes more.

    Because it's HIS Smugmug page, where he can do as he wishes? I could understand your question had Neil posted the images on the forum itself. I struggle to understand your reasoning for making the comment.

    Thank you 'Neil". :rolleyes:. I did actually know all that, of course, and perhaps a PM to him directly might have been better. Probably like me you may at times try to help with the identification of locations for the thousands of images on the site. What sometimes gets in the way of me doing this is the image repetition/similarity. So it was actually a supportive question that I'm bemused you 'struggle' with.
