Wow Dave that was some video to watch, you did have a busy week catching all then tours on film. Then on Saturday you went for three of them by train with good weather to make the day even better, I was on the 37s to Penzance. Great video Mike.

Cheers Mike,it was a good week especially with the 59s on railtour duties which is rare these days.Shame the weather was rubbish on Friday but better for Saturday.I did wonder if you’d be on the 37 tour as i remember it being cancelled last time,hope you had an excellent day out? See you soon Regards Dave😎👍
