    No I do not currently volunteer
    Saw a spiffingly well prepared 80072 on the low loader waltzing off the M66 at Heap Bridge and away up Rochdale Road to Buckley Wells through the gloom at 07.30 this morning. The speed and ability the trucks handle the job these days is a real contrast to years ago when they were slow large loads with police escort. Just another job now!
    I take it the loco's travel empty, without water and coal to keep weight down?

    I know this is slightly off topic, but what's happening with Black 5 No. 45337?

    Cheers,

    Absolutely fantastic day. Some of the best performances I've ever seen a steam loco give. I couldn't resist a ride behind the 5 at the end of the day and it must have been full throttle much of the time!

    I went along on Saturday and once again 73129 had plenty to shout about! Fantastic machine.
    My photos from my visit can now be seen on my fotopic site.

    Great day out yesterday; the double headed combos of;

    80072/73129
    46443/71000
    80072/80080

    Were all sampled and thoroughly enjoyed.

    Everything ran to diagram / time as far as I could tell - well done to all involved.
