    Who would ever have thought back in 1968 that in 2009 you'd be able to stand in one location for a couple of hours and see 5 steam movements? Well yesterday we spent the day at Colton and we got exactly that :D
    The video consists of:
    - LMS 7P No.46115 'Scots Guardsman' & 5XP No.5690 'Leander' on a light engine movement from Carnforth to York
    - LMS 5MT No.45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' on a light engine movement from York to Bury
    - LMS 7P No.6233 'Duchess Of Sutherland' hauling 'The Scarborough Flyer' (We didn't wait around for the return as the light was rubbish as it was and was hungry ;) )

    We have now started to move to a new web host server so by tomorrow (fingers crossed) everyone will be able to resume access to the website, although I started moving things across about 5pm last night and by 11pm I had still only completed July and the main sections of the website ](*,) We shall see... Anyone trying to access the usual SAY.co .uk website will still be redirected to the old website until we get that sorted later today.

    Great stuff Simon but I must say I'm disappointed that you had not got the stamina to wait for 6233 on the return... ;-)

    Nice work Simon, got to laugh at those asthmatic L.M.S. whistles. [​IMG]
