    I nice later than "normal" path over Shap, better for the sun angle for the photters. I don't think the sun is going to oblige tomorrow though!

    It's an incredibly short amount of steam haulage on this one. Just over an hours running.

    It's the 6 hours from Stevenage that's the killer for this one isn't it, and if steam did the return to Carnforth then the 22.30 arrival back at Stevenage would probably be an hour later.

    Despite the predicted weather forecast, LMS 7P Class 4-6-0 No. 46115 'Scots Guardsman' makes for a fine sight and sound as it powers through Hincaster with the 'Cumbrian Mountain Steam Express'

    Excellent as always. Like the going away sequence. Not a rapid ascent for load 10.

    Good and your fan club came up with likes lol I also have an opinion and mine is that why bother when there is no chance of decent light Steve
    You keep yourself to the West side Cumbria, Scotland etc Why dont you venture further.
    I did video for several years natiowide so I know what Im talkin about
    Bet your girls dont like my post lol

    Typical comment as per usual but like you say you did it for a long time but never seen much evidence photo or video wise so perhaps you need to put your footage or stills to be credible on NP

    For the information of those interested primarily in comments, images and videos of the CME, two music videos have been deleted from this thread as they contravene Rules 1 (i), (j).

    If that's the case why ask me why I bothered on Saturday as you must have videoed in all weathers like I do or did you only bother when it was dry and the sun was out .

    Steve sun is the desired effect but in Mongolia in February it is essential to go out sometimes in snow
    Back to renovating my house now.
    Enjoy your day.
