Did you get any pictures of Western Champion, Chippy?
I thought it was getting a bit dark by 10 pm (assuming it ran on time).

Hello Gary,I managed to get some good pictures with a tripod and my newish camera,using an open shutter of 8 mins and a flash unit fired in manual mode,there was also plenty of ambient light from the station buildings.I would love to post some on here, but I do not have a clue how to!The loco stopped for about 20 mins and in a good position,this all helped giving myself and others plenty of scope to get our shots.Bye Chippy.
