    Nice afternoon trip out to Scarborough and back from York. Nice run leaving Scarborough from 5043 and I discovered a good pub for cider, happy days
    I'd better book for the Newcastle trip.

    My pic of 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe at Scarborough plat 1 after a nice fast noisy ontime tour in coach P after joining it at Burton on trent with my 3 travelling companions for the day a lad I had travelled with was on my table today previously on the V.T. Swansea cathedrals express with my friend Colin and a elderly lady who had done numerous steam tours throughout her life like with 46229 Duchess of Hamilton and 3717 City of Truro to name a few.
    And many thanks to the V.T. stewards and engineers on the footplate and support crew. I most certainly will be travelling with V.T. again on the Birmingham Newcastle tour on 18 October and possibly the London tour on November 1st the double headed Jube 45596 Bahamas and 7029 ile give a miss due to having other plans.
    I hope everyone on the white rose tour enjoyed themselves today in York and Scarborough despite the typical wet and windy weather and much needed rain to help the plants crops and trees grow.

    No need to apologise for removing me from the Wood End shot Martin; if only I could vanish from those videos too !

    Wood End , trying to get that 60's look. And yes we all knew how close that unit was going to be.

    A smoky passage through Henley in Arden, well; it was that kind of day and a Stratford bound train rolled in just as 5043 reached the far end of the platform.

    And to finish a fest of Great Western atmosphere at Droitwich.

    A cracking day out pointing a camcorder at The Earl, caught at Old Hill, Danzey and Ladywood. Also features an appearance by a certain A3 up Eardington Bank. I hope you enjoy the video :)
