Thanks, it was cold, and clear, I nearly gave up. They weren't hanging around, the engine was off very quickly after being re coupled to the train. The two shots are from the two runs.

Lovely shots of the 5 on her most important run...

A touch of photoshop.

I will have a look to see if there is a clearer image of the wreath on the loco.

Some superb pictures in that album mow - thanks for posting! The four lamps on the loco are a nice touch as well.

'Jessie' departed from the AVR this morning. I saw it pass over the level crossing at Warmley at about 9:30. The 'Black 5' is still in the yard at Bitton ready for it's imminent departure. It has been cleaned and looks very smart. Well done. <BJ>

45379 is now safely back at the Mid-Hants Railway. I managed to film it at their gala at the weekend. It would be very nice if the AVR could hire 'Wadebridge' for next years gala. I wish. <BJ>
