Lovely weather for steam! Bluebell certainly charging along there.

It was great weather considering the time of year! It was very mild all day, which was very welcome. Yep, 323 wasn't hanging about.

Great as ever. The cold air is brilliant for the steam in the atmosphere. The crew on bluebell certainly weren't hanging around

Thanks mate - the P was really going for it up the hill, there was a big plume of sparks shooting from the chimney but sadly it didn't come out that visibly on the video.

VehicularBrit i hope they put the same show on for the branch line weekend in may.

Will and I were discussing that weekend too - if the locos are on as good form then it will be a brilliant event.

Good work - sorry that is me in the middle of your shot 1.20 ish onwards!

Keith Duke Thanks Keith. Not a problem in the least, being in the shot. I did see your photos on Flickr earlier, to see if I was going to have to apologise for being in any of yours!
