THE GREAT BRITAIN IV

Looking at the pictures of 45407 it's hard to believe 3 week's ago it looked like this.

Two short clips of 46115 on day 6 of the Great Britain 4 railtour at Great Strickland and Oubeck south of Lancaster . http://youtube.com/watch?v=kUXaSKH5Qs0.

 

46115 at Great Strickland again - not bad for a little point-and-shoot camera. The sun was out all morning in the area, then about half an hour before she came past it went in, before coming out again about a minute after she went through and stayed out until it set late this evening. Typical!



Here's a video as well.

campainr, were you the guy with the small video camera on a tripod at Great Strickland? If so, I was stood next to you, in the red t shirt!

 

Just passed Euxton webcam going very steady...........webcam playing up too.......

 

5029 left Preston on time 8.43am.

 

It always give me pleasure to see SKILLED men working. I know there are one or two apprenticeships available out there for a lucky few, but in my opinion it's a big mistake having the emphasis on going to university and all that, surely we should be encouraging youngsters into going for a manufacturing skill. I know when I left grammar school I made a mistake in not going for a mechanical engineering apprenticeship, I've regretted it many times since.(I hope that makes sense)

 

Thankfully more opportunities for youngsters where I am employed.

Well, touch wood, things seem to have gone really well with this tour so far, good weather, no lineside fire problems, no moans, and all locos running well and turned out beautifully. Let's hope the rest of the trip goes as well "darn sarf"
