Note that the steam section behind 6201 is now from BTM right the way through to Crewe. <BJ>

Blood and custard support coach plus nine maroon Mk.1s.

Whatever happened to Richard Angwin's weather forecast?
.....'mostly cloudy with a few bright spells'. Silly man. <BJ>

Took some shots as 6201 Princess Elizabeth emerged from the runnel at Cattybrook. Not sure if I chose the right angle. Heard that there was quite a gathering at Pilning!

Nice photos Michael, particularly like the first one with her framed in the tunnel.

Videoed it climbing up Filton Bank. Not a very good video, staring straight into the sun!

Nice video Pete, great sound as well with a very even exhaust beat from the pacific. Had no trouble parking at Cattybrook, only one other person there.

The passing shot is really impressive with good light on the loco and train.
