    Really enjoyed work today, NMT flat out up shap at 100mph (before I had to slow for the 80 at the top)

      The joys of "modern image" traction ! Can't help but wonder how the guys felt while struggling up there, at 20mph on a steam loco, in fact, I bet even a single class 50 struggled with its train back in the day !

      That’s the one, just reminding myself of the line speeds, the norm for me along there is 60mph max with the logs, the NMT needs a bit more concentration!!

    Treated myself to a PlayStation VIrtual Reality today, gran tourismo sport is bonkers sat in the car looking round as you drive along

      I've always felt that VR would be particularly suited to 'sitting' games like driving and flight sims, taking away the need to use the controller to look around :) I've not tried it myself yet though. I have problems with motion sickness...

    Well that’s the caravan all shut up for the winter, roll on March when we can get back there!!
