    No No No. This is wonderful. It deserves its own thread. Lovely GWR whistle and the startled look on the faces of passengers waiting for their service trains.

    Bring it on.

    Going too fast to be an escapee from next door, Kevin. Anyway most of next door were hiding when we went through, there only seemed to be the odd hi-vis to be seen. We always try to wake them up when we go by, but it quite often doesn't work for some reason!

    Somebody "next door" must of realised. Sounded like a Stanier hooter responded (43106?). Yes I know that's an Ivatt! Not sure if there are any other ex LMS locos in use at the moment.

    I'm with Big Al on this. One tour (or one group of similar tours), one thread. That way nothing gets lost and no need to repeat oneself.
