Fantastic shots! Didn't get any of the 37's myself due to the fuss with the signalling circuits, but even with that it was well worth the day out. I really hope you're right and second that I'd love to see more enthusiast tours like this, I've never seen fuller platforms (or should that be vegetable patches?) for a tour in my life!
Thanks mate, much appreciated. You're certainly right about the full platforms; I use Leyland for pretty much all of my WCML night shots and haven't seen it as many onlookers as there was last night in some time. With the success of this tour I really can't see LSL not doing another in the future - with the variety of Diesel and Electric locomotives they have and the number of routes easily accessible from Crewe the possibilities are almost endless...Graham
Thanks mate, appreciated. D400 was taken back to Crewe by D213 after the 3rd leg of the tour, being unable to get back under its own power on arrival from Carlisle earlier on...Graham
Yes at that point 34067 was hauling the entire train unassisted. As the diesel went past me you can hear it open up to provide assistance to Tangmere up the remaining 2 miles or so of 1 in 80 but even then the steamer was doing most of the work...Graham
Super video footage from all locations. 👍
Thanks Allan, much appreciated...Graham

Great stuff Graham some nice shots there cheers Steve
Thanks Steve, much appreciated...Graham
Excellent job, well done, I saw it a few times but you must have the record there. Where did Fearless go in the end?

@@steamdriver12 thank you, I forgot about the 40 going back, how could I??!!
When you are a steam hauled train with a diesel on the back like mid video is the steam loco pulling the entire train and the diesel ?
