    Thanks very much David.

    I'll also be uploading the video I took of her giving it the noise later.

    I've uploaded Part 1 of the trip from Sheffield Park to Horsted, I decided to use this video to mark the main lineside features. Part one covers SP to Tremains foot crossing and includes 178 making some noise! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdq0PlM57GU

    Looking at pictures from Bowaters days she had a Austerity style hooter on a branch pipe infront of the cab, instead of the normal SECR pop on the cab roof
