We saw another of your "family" Saturday night at around 20:30. 60019 on the up line past Wokingham looking magnificent in the rain. The steam,light from the crossing lights and the glow from the firebox made a magnificent sight, I just wish I'd had a suitable camera.

Cheers Pete. Those night time views are almost always so atmospheric; we were lucky to Have Tornado through Retford four times last week, twice being after dark and at the station, accelerating from her water stop just a mile or so north, with whistle screaming and regulator probably open all the way - superb stuff.

We had both 60019 and 34067 pass within 5 miles of here on Saturday, I saw Tangmere in the morning and 60019 in the evening.

60019 will be on the Waterloo mainline thru Farnborough tomorrow and 34067 will be thru Blackwater on the reading line on 10/12. Unfortunately as I work nights I'll still be in bed when they come through.

Since I left 'the south' seven or so years back there has been a huge increase in the number of steam workings and I hope you all enjoy many more. I used to enjoy popping over to Brockham to watch various machines on the Surrey Hills Pullman dining trains.

However, I now live just down the road from the NRM and just over the road from Barrow Hill so should not complain!
