    Worth getting wet for.
    Once upon a very wet Llangollen Railway Day, I was riding up close and personal behind my beloved Foxcote Manor. This is a true story, it happened a long time ago. I had my head stuck out of the door window, and wound up looking like a drowned rat.
    "Aren't you soaked enough already?" asked my one true love.
    "No shower of rain is gonna stop me staring at you," came the reply. I didn't put my head in apart from going through Berwyn Tunnel of course. It's a miracle I didn't catch a cold.
    Some things in life are worth getting wet to see. Sir Nigel Greasebag and Britannia are one of them.

    There’s a 14 year gap between sir Nigel gresley been built in 1937 by the LNER by the designer who has his name and Britannia been built in 1951 3 years after British railways was formed in 1948

    Fantastic double heading. I probably walked past you not knowing. Shame it was so rainy on that first trip, I did not take this train all the way back again so I could get a bit of Leander haulage.

    Hi there, I am a huge fan of this channel, and when I watch your
    ELR videos I quite often see you have filmed my train and I can never think back to the crowd to remember if I saw you. Will you be there today? 16.3.24. Really like the channel

    I hope both locos get scrapped, so it doesn't matter if I didn't see them today! screw you steam enthusiasts! heritage railways are not interesting, start filming proper modern trains! like pendolinos, IETs etc. I had a bad day, so I couldn't make it onto this
