    Yes indeed, great stuff Mark. Just shows you don't need to be dashing around at 75mph to have a great experience with steam. The 8f sounded awesome and expertly handled. Had the pleasure of seeing it leave Aberystwyth a short while ago and it's certainly up there with the best in the noise stakes!

    Thanks for the kind comments both.

    Would be lovely to have her on a Cambrian Coast Express instead of that private jolly. About the only thing that could equal 7802 in noise and slow speed slogging!
