    I m just trying to get to grips with uploading old vhs tapes and testing various settings, so the picture quality is a bit poor on this one. it seems to be a toss up between good picture vs poor sound at the moment, doesnt help that the tape is a bit knackered. but hope you enjoy it.

    Nice footage, thanks for sharing. I met Joe when I was a steward with SLOA in the 1980s. We had 4472 on a Carnforth to Leeds special. Joe was on board and they let him fire the engine from Skipton into Leeds.
