Steve, I just noticed the wreck in your sig pic. Does EPA know that thing's polluting the water? Neat pic and scene idea. I am having a little trouble seeing the Grande flying herald in the background though... [:D]

thanks for the site

Grande man, the guys took out the oil and diesel as they could not get it out the mud, the tunnel motor is at a red light waiting for the road, all good fun on the joint line today

Steve- Thanks for the link. Sorry to say but to my eyes they are some of the UGLIEST locos I have ever seen.
Remind me of the N.Y. subway trains. U G L Y!

British Diesels and electrics are not the most attractive things in the world for sure, but there is something very endearing about British Steam. Great to see steam in action on such a regular basis.

Thanks for the link Steve.
It's not often you see class 37s triple headed so that clip was well worth it.
Just so happens I've got 3 x Class 37s in EWS livery so I'll see what it looks like in OO [:D]

Exciting! I would keep an eye on this site for more live steam.
