Nice video! Shame I could not make it. The other visiting steam loco was nice. Hopefully next weekend I can make it to the spa valley to see her. Are you going to the bluebell next weekend to see the City of Wells. :)

Thanks mate. Hope you do go to the Spa Valley next weekend to see "Beatrice" in action. I will be going to the Bluebell Railway on Friday 7th, but I'm may go on Saturday or Sunday if I decided to do those days instead.
