    Here are a few of my pictures of this UK Railtours trip to the MHR today captured around Aldershot on the outward and return journeys:
    Green Lane.jpg 73136 & 73128 head past Green Lane between Farnham and Aldershot.
    Eggars Hill 1.jpg Eggars Hill 2.jpg 66752 returns up the hill to Aldershot with the 73's on the rear of the charter.

    Full marks for the train name :) (I used to own one! - a Sunbeam Alpine that is!)

    I never owned a Tiger but a friend did, hilarious in the wet. :) I went on to TVR's after that. They were mental. Glad to see that they are to return soon.

    Friend of mine had an RS3100 Capri, that was 'fascinating' when it rained :)

    I had an RS3100 Capri back in the day. I got it wedged sideways under a narrow railway bridge once
