Marvellous footage, liked the 'train race' at the start too !

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Magnificent sight! Interesting to see that there was enough clearance for the train after all! the camera angle at first didnt look like there was!

@alexander7163 Thanks - there is something so photogenic about steam engines. Mike

@pwalpar Thanks Walter - 80 years old and still going strong! She is not the most powerful still running - That's the "Duchess" Class. Mike

@stestepney Thanks - yes I was. The 12 x Optical zoom was at the limit of my " hand held" skills LOL. It's a nice little camera. Mike

@scottishrailways Thanks mate!! Make sure you check out the other one! Mike

[@NN2Blue]

@ADMIRALSCORNER Thanks Mike - Northampton Station has been earmarked for upgrading and a changed layout for some time. It's a bit of a bottleneck! Mike

[@stestepney]

Nice vid Mike was you using that Panasonic on this ?....Thanks Steve.....

@modemeyes Thanks Mike - I thought so as well! LOL! Mike

[@alexander7163]

@englischlokfuehrer David, Thanks - if you can send me the Google Map co-ordinates for a public access viewing point either North or South of Hunsbury Tunnel, I can assure you, I'll be there next time! There are very few good vantage points from Northampton to Roade and it's a real shame! Mike
