[@jameseldershaw7194]

Lovely mixture of classics in a lovely setting Les!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Glad you enjoyed it. Worth returning there in the summer I think

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Very beautifulo skies to film in, and a great selection of trains. The 4MTT really glistened in the light! Excellent footage again! Happy New Year to you and Yours!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks Anthony - the skies were lovely but the wind was cutting. A Great place to vost though. Happy New Year to Joyce and yourself

[@colingarwood9971]

Nice coverage of the Sunday workings Les. I was there filming on the Saturday, mainly for the naming ceromony and it was a lot busier even though we had horizontal rain with the wind. 70806 also played a part in proceedings. HappyNew Year, Colin.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Happy new year to you. I think I would have been less successful with crowds any bigger. As it happened I had a to adjust my filming because of them

[@nelson408.]

You done well to persevere given the wind. I gave up filming in the end. Me and my green Grinch hat appear in the DMU shots at Birkhill...😄

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

I persevere through it all ! Thanks for watching

[@cedarcam]

It looked like a good gala. I would like to have a look around their museum and workshops they have a great viewing area

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Unfortunately most of the site was closed off with the museum being renovated etc. I plan to visit again in the summer, ideally when its sunny but quiet!

[@stevehull787]

All the best for the new year Les take care stay safe top man 👍

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks, you too!

[@thegrowler-blackwoodngauge]

Missed you!! I was there while you were on the 13:00 service. The wind was horrendous - nearly got blown down the stairs on the footbridge. Bit disappointed they had blocked off the path around the back past the display sheds and around to the museum.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

There we are - the rides were chosen so I could film the more interesting locos! I hadnt realised that the paths were closed, Althesame, for my first visit I ned to go back in the summer on a normal day

[@RoundelRailways]

I was there that day - you can just make me out in that first shot of 37403's arrival. Gutted I didn't spot you! My video will be going up tomorrow am

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Excllent I'll look forward to seeing it

[@2010ditta]

Nice one Leslie. You did well there considering the conditions. Happy New Year to you.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks Tim, it was annoying but a fun time all the same

[@bobnweaver]
