    [quoteacw71000, out of interest, what camcorder are you using? .[/quote]

    Thanks for your very kind comments, glad you have enjoyed the videos. The camera is a Canon HV30 which I can't praise too highly. It also allows you to get very acceptable still images either during live recording or in playback.

    My favoutie bit is listenting to the A4 powering away from Crewe. I could listen to the wonderful 'Gresley beat' all evening!

    65mph at the end of the in 177, at the summit the loco was eased as we were getting ahead of schedule.

    Once again very good trip.

    Great vid No.7. Not really a fan of A4's but she certainly does sound great.

    Thanks, with a name like 'DUKE71000' you must be a 3-cylinder man!

    I've uploaded a few shots of 60007 arriving at Birmingham International on Saturday evening after spending a very wet and miserable day on the Severn Valley. I then drove over to Berkswell for a couple of passing shots. The loco looked and sounded in excellent condition.
