    Reading the 5305 Locomotive Association newsletter, it sounds as if the Five is currently having its tyres turned at Neville Hill.

    45305 was dead inside the NRM today, near the entrance to the workshop.

    I had thought it was 4498 but now I believe it was No.9 on 23rd. November 2002, 'The Shap Streaker' both ways over Shap on a tour which originated in Birmingham

    Well this morning I had a pointless trip to just north of Lancaster when my car decided to overheat :mad2: After leaving it for 20 minutes then topping up with around 3 pints of water I decided that the best course of action was to come back via the A6 as far as Chorley before jumpng on the M61. Just checked it on my return and the level is still ok so hopefully just an airlock.

    Anyway looking forward to seeing everyone elses photos and vids.

    Well here's my short offering from Docker, bit windy and not helped by two cars stopping as she stormed past, and sitting there with engines running as she went away. I had planned to go to the other side fo a better going away shot but when I turned round found a car in my way...
