It was at Stafford I came out 10 years ago as a spotter! Waiting with work colleagues for a connection and I was just so excited to watch all the freights whizzing through. They looked at me quizzically and I owned up and never looked back!! Happy birthday too! Paul

Happy belated birthday wishes. Love your videos 💘

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

Thank you so much!!

[@MrBnsftrain]

I like the single 325 set at 7:55. In your previous videos, 325s usually ran in trios forming 12-car trains 9:40 an ex-Greater Anglia class 90 running light engine 12:38 class 66, 92 and two 67s. I like the mixture of marron and gray locos If I'm not mistaken, you caught more freight trains (that weren't all intermodals) than passenger trains. Quite unusual in Britian and Europe but quite common in America

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

Cool, thanks. I dont video many passenger trains.

[@rodwilkinson3304]

Keith I had to re run this one to fully appreciate just how much you captured, that brand new track machine looks awesome and really appreciated the fantastic number of bonus shots……brilliant day out for you and all of us….thank you !

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

Glad you enjoyed it
